Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Solid performance in loss
Bates-Diop racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Friday's 119-100 loss to Philadelphia.
With the Spurs shorthanded, Bates-Diop drew his ninth start of the season, but he failed to make a lasting impression. On the season, he's averaging 5.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.9 minutes and remains a non-factor in most fantasy leagues.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Questionable Saturday
Bates-Diop is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a right hamstring injury, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Bates-Diop had started each of the last two games, but he's dealing with a hamstring issue ahead of Saturday's matchup. If he's able to suit up against Detroit, he could see an uptick in playing time since Doug McDermott and Lonnie Walker entered the league's health and safety protocols Saturday.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Muted effort in spot start
Bates-Diop ended with 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 144-109 victory over the Pistons.
Bates-Diop was inserted into the starting lineup, replacing Dejounte Murray, who was placed in the health and safety protocols. Coming off a career-best performance, Bates-Diop was unable to produce to the same level. The minutes were slightly underwhelming, thiugh the fact the game was a blowout didn't work in his favor. It is unclear whether he will remain in the opening five but nonetheless, he should be viewed as a back-end 12-team streaming option in the short term.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Starting Sunday
Bates-Diop is entering the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Pistons.
The Ohio State product had one of the most impressive shooting performances in recent memory during his last appearance, as he went off 30 points while making every single one of his 11 attempts from the field. Coach Gregg Popovich has decided to reward Bates-Diop and insert him in the starting lineup for the team's contest Sunday. While you shouldn't expect another elite showing from Bates-Diop, the forward will have some fantasy upside if he's going to remain in an elevated role.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Goes perfect 11-for-11 from field
Bates-Diop amassed 30 points (11-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 138-110 victory over the Lakers.
Bates-Diop may have been the least likely player on either team to register this type of performance, as he entered Thursday's contest averaging a measly 3.8 points per game. The fourth-year forward caught fire against the Lakers to go a perfect 11-for-11 from the field, with much of his production coming in an explosive 20-point second half. Bates-Diop isn't likely to put together another performance this pristine in his career, but perhaps Thursday's effort will earn him more playing time. He entered the contest averaging just 8.8 minutes in his pervious four games.

Bates-Diop will come off the bench Saturday against the Nuggets.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Grabs nine rebounds in spot start
Bates-Diop ended with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-111 victory over the Nuggets.
With Keldon Johnson still sidelined, the Spurs have had to look deeper into their roster, and Bates-Diop has proven to be an excellent addition to the campaign. Devin Vassell managed to take the court for limited minutes in Thursday's win, so while the Ohio State product's minutes will likely dip again, he'll remain a solid second-unit player for the team.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Starting vs. Nuggets
Bates-Diop is starting against the Nuggets on Thursday, according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News.
Keldon Johnson will be unavailable because of an ankle injury, so Bates-Diop is starting instead. The latter could continue to start while his teammate remains out. However, Bates-Diop averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds across four starts this year. His lackluster starter averages indicate fantasy managers should still consider other available options.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Unlikely to play Saturday
Bates-Diop (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Warriors, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
Bates-Diop was held scoreless across just nine minutes during Thursday's 114-83 win over the Blazers, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury during the contest. His absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the Spurs' rotation, as Doug McDermott -- who returned Thursday from a four-game absence -- will likely absorb the majority of Bates-Diop's missing minutes.

Bates-Diop is not starting Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Spurs' Keita Bates-Diop: Plays 18 minutes in start
Bates-Diop logged two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and four rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 124-106 loss to the Hawks.
Making another start in place of Doug McDermott (knee), Bates-Diop didn't make much of an impact in his 18 minutes of action. It's possible he could make another start or two if McDermott misses more time, but the Ohio State product can continue to be ignored in most season-long leagues.
