22 Rudy Gay SF

Gay totaled 23 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes Sunday in the Spurs' 110-97 win over the Jazz.

Gay's numbers have been all over the map over the past couple of weeks, though he's at least found some stability as a scorer recently with four double-digit point totals in his last five outings. That being said, Gay's recurring heel problems often make coach Gregg Popovich unwilling to lean heavily on the forward in back-to-back sets or in contests that devolve into blowouts. As a result, Gay's playing time is somewhat volatile from game and game and makes him less trustworthy for DFS purposes, but he makes for a fine option in most season-long formats. Despite the up-and-down nature of his production, Gay is averaging a respectable line of 13.9 points (on 51 percent shooting from the field), 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 three-pointers per game on the campaign.

Gay delivered 31 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes in the Spurs' 121-113 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. He fouled out of the contest with 27 seconds remaining.

Gay's scoring total was a season-best figure, and over half of it -- 16 points -- came in a prolific third quarter. The veteran had just one basket over the final 10-plus minutes of the game, but he did enough to secure his highest point total since Jan. 5, 2016. The offensive explosion was a particularly welcome sight for fantasy owners, who'd seen Gay go scoreless against the Jazz one night earlier and turn in single-digit point tallies in three of the four games prior. Factoring in Wednesday's production, Gay is now shooting 55.9 percent over his first three games of December.

Gay pitched in 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in the Spurs' 131-118 win over the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Gay's contributions served as the ideal complement to those of DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge, who combined for 65 points. Gay had failed to reach double digits in the scoring column in three straight games while playing no more than 25 minutes in those contests, but all of his numbers were back up Sunday. He'll look to build on the resurgent performance versus the Jazz on Tuesday evening.

Gay had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes during Monday's 108-107 win over the Bulls.

Gay saw a season low minute total in this one while failing to score in double figures for just the second time through 16 appearances. Coach Gregg Popovich was likely looking to get Gay a little bit of rest with five Western Conference opponents on the horizon. Gay has easily been the third-most reliable Spur to date, behind only DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge.

Gay finished with 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, and seven assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 111-100 victory over the Pacers.

Gay handed out a season-high seven assists to go with his season-high 12 rebounds during Friday's win. He continues to have himself a solid season despite the lingering hell concern. As long as he is on the court, he should be able to put up standard league value and should be on a roster everywhere.
