Castle recorded 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 122-96 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Castle continued his solid play in the starting five on Tuesday, racking up at least 15 points for a seventh consecutive contest (all starts). However, the 20-year-old struggled from beyond the arc in the blowout loss, and he has shot only 20.0 percent from downtown in his last three games. The rookie first-round pick has received an increased role due to De'Aaron Fox (finger) being sidelined, and Castle should continue to serve as one of the club's top options on the offensive end.

Castle (knee) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castle is coming off a 15-point performance in Sunday's win against the Raptors, despite dealing with a right knee issue. The rookie is averaging 14.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 42.8 percent from the floor and 28.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Castle is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right knee hyperextension.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new injury for Castle, and it's a big concern for fantasy managers as the Spurs tend to be super cautious. If Castle is unable to give it a go, Chris Paul could offer a higher floor in fantasy formats. Blake Wesley would also be a candidate for a larger role in that scenario.

Castle ended Friday's 128-120 victory over Philadelphia with 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 14 assists, one block and three steals in 35 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Castle didn't reach the 20-point mark for the fourth time across his last five games, but the rookie out of Arizona thrived as a playmaker and finished with a career-high mark in the assists category -- which is even more impressive considering he shares the backcourt with an all-time elite floor general in Chris Paul. Castle has been nothing short of excellent in his last five starts, averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 31.0 minutes per game.

Castle logged 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 win over New York.
EDGE Analysis
Castle has been the most productive rookie in the NBA this season, and it hasn't been even close. This was his 20th game with at least 20 points in 2024-25, and to put things into perspective, no other rookie has recorded even 10 outings with such a scoring figure. Castle has scored in double digits in all but one of his 11 appearances in March, tallying 20.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game over that stretch.

Castle registered 23 points (8-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Castle has started each of the Spurs' last three games and is expected to remain a starter in the backcourt alongside Chris Paul due to the absence of De'Aaron Fox (finger), who won't return this season. The rookie out of UConn has been making the most of his chances in a starting role, and he's surpassed the 20-point mark in two of those aforementioned three contests. Across 32 starts this season, Castle is averaging 15.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Castle closed with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 145-134 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
In his first start since the Spurs lost De'Aaron Fox (finger) for the rest of the season, Castle led the Spurs in scoring Friday while supplying a full stat line. The rookie first-rounder has witnessed a considerable rise in fantasy value as part of the first unit in 2024-25, which should continue going forward. Over his last 11 games as a starter, Castle has averaged 18.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes.

Castle is in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Hornets on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castle has come off the bench since Feb. 5 following the Spurs' acquisition of De'Aaron Fox (finger) from the Kings. With Fox out for the season, Castle will reenter the starting lineup alongside Chris Paul in the frontcourt. As a starter this season, Castle has averaged 15.1 points, 4.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 29.7 minutes per game.

Castle (shoulder) will play Monday against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castle will assume his usual role off the bench despite dealing with a minor shoulder injury. He's provided quite the spark for San Antonio of late, averaging 23.3 points in 29.2 minutes over his last six appearances.

Castle (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against Dallas, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castle is expected to avoid an absence due to the left shoulder contusion, though he'll likely go through pregame warmups ahead of Monday's tipoff at 8:30 p.m. ET until the club makes a final decision. Over his last 10 outings, the rookie first-round pick has averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals across 24.8 minutes per contest.
