Duncan is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, the San Antonio Express-News reports. No injury or cause for concern here, just rest for a veteran coming off a great night.

It was a huge night for Duncan, and he was extremely efficient as well. As long as he's in the lineup and not receiving the night off, he's a must-start player in all formats.

Duncan scored 14 points (5-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with 17 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 36 minutes during Wednesday's overtime win against the Nets. Duncan is prone to the Greg Popovich's rests, but he can still put up numbers with the best of them when he plays.

Duncan (rest) will play Wednesday against the Nets, the San Antonio Express-News reports. Duncan sat for the second game of a back-to-back set Monday, and will return to the lineup as expected Wednesday. He should be counted on for his regular minutes.

Duncan will take a day of rest Monday and won't play against the Sixers, the San Antonio Express-News reports. Duncan's day off isn't a big surprise, as he has now become accustomed to getting one every now and then. With both he and Tiago Splitter (calf) out, Boris Diaw, Matt Bonner, Jeff Ayres and Aron Baynes could all be candidates for extra minutes.

Duncan scored 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-3 FT), with 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Warriors. Duncan is just a double-double machine, and he was at it once again on Tuesday. The Spurs grabbed an impressive road win, and Duncan was a big part of San Antonio getting the job done.

Duncan (rest) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports. Both Duncan and Manu Ginobili are considered questionable Tuesday, as coach Gregg Popovich continues to closely monitor his veterans' minutes. Neither have been officially ruled in or out yet, though, and a decision likely won't come until just before tip-off.

Duncan scored 18 points (6-14 FG, 6-8 FT) with 11 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Monday's win over the Clippers. Ol' Man River just keeps rolling along. He's now recorded double-doubles in four of his five games played, and Duncan seems likely to add a bunch more this season.

Duncan moved straight back to his familiar starting position in the frontcourt Saturday, and in the process notched his 800th career double-double. He finished with 11 points (3-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assists and one block in 33 minutes. While Duncan will sit games throughout the season, when he does play, he'll be a quality fantasy producer. Owners just need to make sure they monitor his status prior to games and remove him from the lineup when he is resting.
