Tim Duncan played on Thursday after getting a night off on Tuesday, scoring 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting with nine rebounds, three assists, and three blocks. Duncan has been a stud when on the court, posting solid mid-round value with relative consistency from night-to-night. The random DNPs are a drag, and they could become more prevalent down the stretch, but the juice is worth the squeeze right now.
