Anderson, with the return of Kawhi Leonard (shoulder), will come off the pine for Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Leonard out over the past three games, Anderson has seen extended run, averaging 5.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 steals across 31.0 minutes per game. Leonard's return will likely mean reduced run for Anderson, however.

Anderson made his second straight start at small forward and tallied three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five steals and two assists across 28 minutes in Monday's 107-100 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
As per usual, Anderson didn't light it up in the points column despite receiving huge minutes, but his contributions across the stat sheet nonetheless proved useful for those who rolled with him in DFS lineups and deeper season-long leagues. The five steals matched Anderson's previous career best and give him a total of 16 over the Spurs' last eight games. He's also shooting 58.3 percent from the field and averaging 6.4 rebound per game over that same span.

Anderson will start at small forward for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs are set to be without the likes of Rudy Gay (heel), Kawhi Leonard (rest), Danny Green (groin), Tony Parker (rest) and Manu Ginobili (rest) on Wednesday, so Anderson will pick up the start and should see all the minutes he can handle on the wing. That'll make him a potential punt-play for Wednesday's DFS slate, though the majority of the aforementioned players should be back Friday, so it'll only be a temporary uptick in value for Anderson.

Anderson went for 16 points (4-4 FG, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's 119-107 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson drew the start with Kawhi Leonard (rest) sidelined and equaled his season high in scoring. A high-water mark in visits to the charity stripe helped prop up his line significantly Thursday, as he'd scored no more than six points in his previous six contests. While the unexpected offensive surge was certainly a welcome sight for fantasy owners, Anderson's offensive contributions remain largely inconsistent, although his typically solid work on the glass and in the area of assists has helped keep him fantasy-viable even when his point totals remain in the single digits.

EDGE Analysis

In two games since returning from an eight-game injury absence, Anderson has played 24 and 23 minutes, respectively. Against Utah on Thursday, Anderson finished with six points, two rebounds and one assist.

Head coach Gregg Popovich said Anderson (knee) will be capped at 15 minutes Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Spurs will ease Anderson back into action as the 24-year-old returns after missing the past eight games due to a sprained MCL. With Anderson on a minutes limit and Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out, look for Rudy Gay to benefit from extended run.

Anderson (knee) will be available for Wednesday's contest against the Trail Blazers, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has missed the past eight games while recovering from a sprained MCL, but has progressed enough to make a return Wednesday. With Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting out, Anderson could see significant run. But, at the same time, coach Gregg Popovich may want to take it easy with Anderson coming right off an injury. As a result, Rudy Gay could be the one who benefits the most if coach Popovich limits Anderson's run.

EDGE Analysis
Anderson has missed eight straight games while working back from a sprained MCL, but appears to ready to make his return to action. With Kawhi Leonard (rest) expected to sit out, Anderson could see a significant role right away at small forward, though that's if coach Gregg Popovich doesn't want to keep him to limited minutes. Look for a final update on Anderson's availability after Monday's morning shootaround.
