Ginobili produced 11 points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a blocked shot in 22 minutes during Thursday's 98-93 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili reached double-digit points in relief but that's not a total that can be counted on from the veteran guard, who hasn't seen the needle move significantly in terms of his production. He's basically been used in the second unit and you'll often see him pop in as the sixth man on occasion. He currently has little to no fantasy value despite this decent game.

Ginobili (rest) will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
With the playoffs nearing, Ginobili was rested for Monday's contest against the Rockets. His return Tuesday will likely reduce the roles of Bryn Forbes and Danny Green. Over Ginobili's past 14 appearances, he's averaged 8.8 points and 3.0 assists in 19.5 minutes.

Ginobili will rest for Monday's game against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
With the playoffs nearing, the Spurs will opt to rest their 40-year-old guard for Monday's contest, leaving Bryn Forbes and Danny Green to likely see increased action off the bench. Monday marks the first game of a back-to-back stint for the Spurs, which would leave Ginobili available to return to action Tuesday against the Magic.

Ginobili finished with 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili returned to the lineup following a one-game absence with a bruised sternum, and the 40-year-old legend stepped up and tried to take over once LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) exited. If Aldridge and Pau Gasol (knee) remain sidelined for Saturday's showdown with the Lakers, Ginobili might be worth a look as a cheap option in daily leagues.

Ginobili (chest) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, Jeff McDonald of San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili sat out Sunday's contest with a bruised sternum, but as expected, it was nothing serious and will return to action for Wednesday's contest. Coach Gregg Popovich said there wouldn't be any specific minutes restriction for his veteran, noting his playing time would be the "same as for any other 40-year-old player." Ginobili's return could mean a few less minutes for guys like Bryn Forbes and Brandon Paul.

Ginobili (chest) said he plans to play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was sidelined for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers after suffering a bruised sternum Friday against the Nuggets, but it looks like the extra day off has helped Ginobili recover. With Ginobili expected to return to the lineup, Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills may both see their backcourt minutes take a hit.

Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Jeff McDonald of San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili suffered a bruised sternum in Friday's tilt with the Nuggets and while it's not considered to be anything overly serious, the Spurs will take a cautious approach and hold him out Sunday. That should allow Ginobili another few days off for rest prior to Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans, though tentatively consider him questionable for that outing. With Ginobili out, guys like Bryn Forbes and Brandon Paul could see a slightly expanded role off the bench.

Ginobili (chest) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran injured his chest during Friday's contest against the Nuggets. Afterward, he underwent an X-ray. The results have not been officially revealed, though with the news of him being questionable Saturday, the results were presumably negative. If he gets ruled out, Bryn Forbes and Brandon Paul could see expanded roles.
