Ginobili will not play during Wednesday's game against the 76ers for rest purposes.
EDGE Analysis
With the Spurs on the second half of a back-to-back, the coaching staff is opting to rest their veteran guard. As a result, Bryn Forbes, Brandon Paul and Darrun Hilliard are all candidates to see extra run at shooting guard.

Ginobili is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Kings after resting Thursday versus Utah.
EDGE Analysis
As has been the case for much of the year, Ginobili was held out of Thursday's game against the Jazz on the second night of a back-to-back. Following an off-day Friday, all signs point to the 40-year-old returning to his usual role off the bench Saturday.

Ginboili will sit out of Thursday's game against the Jazz for rest, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Spurs heading into a back-to-back set, Ginobili will get the night off for rest to keep him as healthy as possible for the rest of the season. He should be back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings, though on Thursday, look for guys like Bryn Forbes, Brandon Paul and Rudy gay to see more minutes on the wing.

Ginobili will be rested for Saturday's game against the Suns, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili will be rewarded with the day off Saturday after knocking down the game-winning three pointer in Friday's 105-102 win over the Celtics. He finished the night with 11 points (3-8 FG), four rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes of action. Look for Bryn Forbes to see extended run with Ginobili unavailable.

Ginobili is dealing with a sore knee but said he expects to play Friday against the Celtics, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili knocked knees with someone early on during Wednesday's win over the Heat, though he was still able to play 25 minutes and record 10 points (2-6 FG), three rebounds and three assists. The veteran said that while he expects it to hurt a little bit Thursday, he doesn't consider issue serious and insists he'll be fine come Friday. Still, with the Spurs heading into a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see him to be held out of one of the two games.

Ginobili will be rested for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, the veteran will be held out of action on the second night of a back-to-back. With Danny Green also out, Bryn Forbes will move into the starting lineup and will be in line for increased minutes.

Ginobili has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Bulls for rest purposes.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili is coming off his most productive game of the season in Friday's loss to the Bucks, as he tallied 18 points, one rebound, three assists, two steals, and a block and triple apiece across 25 minutes. However, it is no surprise that the Spurs plan on resting the veteran shooting guard on the second night of a back-to-back set. Rookie Brandon Paul could end up returning to the rotation as a result.

Ginobili poured in 18 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), and added three assists, one rebound, two steals and one block across 25 minutes in Friday's 94-87 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili's scoring total led the second unit and also represented a season high. The 40-year-old continues to provide the occasional double-digit scoring effort and offer modest production elsewhere across the stat sheet. Outside of the occasional rest day, he's also seeing a consistent workload typically around 20 minutes, keeping him viable in very deep season-long formats and as an inexpensive DFS option.

Ginobili will sit out Sunday's game against the Suns for rest, Jabari Young of San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili was originally expected to sit out Friday's matchup for rest, but ended up playing, so he'll get the night off Sunday instead. The veteran should be back for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Ginobili (rest), despite previous reports that he wouldn't play Friday, is available for the contest against the Hornets, Paul Garcia of TheSportsDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Gregg Popovich is known for often changing his lineup and status of players, so this move is less surprising than it would be for the other 29 teams in the league. He provided six points and two rebounds against the Warriors on Thursday night.
