Thunder even series, Spurs shuffle starters

Wembanyama was part of the Spurs lineup discussion heading into Game 3, with reports indicating he would start alongside Fox, Castle, Vassell, and Champagnie. Fantasy managers should treat him as the clear anchor even in a volatile playoff rotation.

Vassell was noted in the starting lineup chatter for San Antonio, but also appeared in the group of players whose status was being actively monitored. If active and normal, he remains one of the Spurs’ better scoring-path options.

Castle was specifically mentioned in both lineup and status updates, with the Spurs expected to start him while also tracking his availability closely. That makes him a key late-swap watch in fantasy formats.

Wallace was among the Thunder pieces called out as benefiting from lineup movement, with mention that his variants were up in the wake of roster changes. He’s a strong value-watch option whenever Oklahoma City’s rotation opens up.

Hartenstein was singled out as another Thunder player whose outlook improved with the shifting injury/starting landscape. In playoff DFS and deeper fantasy setups, he’s a notable rebounds-and-efficiency play when Oklahoma City leans into size.
