Produces 19 points in restart Gay scored 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt) while adding eight rebounds, an assist and a block in 26 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Kings.

Impact With LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) not available for the restart of the season, Gay was often the closest thing to a big in coach Gregg Popovich's small-ball lineup, and the veteran forward responded with a strong performance. Gay averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 boards over the final six games prior to the season being suspended after Aldridge was originally injured, and he should remain productive as the Spurs try to maneuver their way into a playoff spot.

Big night Friday White scored 26 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 34 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Getting the start over Dejounte Murray, White was able to exploit a ragged Sacramento defense and tied his career scoring high. It's not clear how coach Gregg Popovich plans to deploy his two point guards as the Spurs try to push their way into a playoff spot, but White certainly didn't hurt his case for an expanded workload.

Awful shooting night Friday Hield scored six points (2-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT) while adding four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Friday's 129-120 loss to the Spurs.

Impact While De'Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic had little trouble exploiting a disjointed Spurs defense in their first game back from the break, combining for 63 points, Hield couldn't get his shot to fall and his cold spell played a large role in the Kings dropping a game they could ill afford to lose. The 27-year-old will need to regain his focus quickly if the team is going to stay afloat in the Western Conference playoff chase.
