Tim Duncan scored a season-high 34 points on 12-of-19 shooting (10-of-10 FTs) with 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in the Spurs' 104-102 win over the Clippers on Friday. Duncan also converted the game-winning 3-point play with 2.2 seconds left, and got a little loose with the trash talk in a physical game. Anything can happen over the next few weeks, but for now he has blasted away expectations and avoided the DNP bug.

Tim Duncan scored 19 points on 4-of-13 shooting (11-of-13 FTs) with 16 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in Friday's overtime win. For all of the jibber jabber about Duncan slowing down we've yet to see any major downtime from him and otherwise he has been a beast. It's anybody's guess when the next DNP will strike, and owners would be wise to subtract anywhere from a half-game to a full game off his weekly schedule when making assessments. Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points with a very full line in the win.

Tim Duncan is feeling more confident in his jump shot after missing time earlier this season with knee and ankle injuries. "My jump shot's coming back," he said. "It doesn't feel great, but it's going in a little bit. I'll take it. Everything else feels really good." Gregg Popovich said Duncan has his "rhythm back," and it shows. Duncan has been ridiculous in March, averaging 20.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.9 blocks while shooting 58 percent.

Tim Duncan stayed hot on Wednesday, hitting 11-of-17 shots for 25 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, a steal and four blocks in a win over the Warriors. Duncan is absolutely killing it lately and the only thing that can slow him down is a random Gregg Popovich benching for rest. That's always going to be a risk associated with owning Duncan from here on in, but he's playing well enough to overcome the occasional missed game. It also helps that the Spurs don't have a back-to-back set of games until Sunday March 31 and Monday April 1.

The Spurs outlasted the Cavaliers on Saturday, thanks largely to Tim Duncan's game-high 30 points on 13-of-19 shooting, with 12 rebounds, four assists and five blocks. Brilliant games like this make the prospect of random DNPs much easier to swallow. It's also encouraging that San Antonio doesn't play another back-to-back set until early April, which should keep Timmy rested even as the Thunder push the Spurs for the top seed in the West (currently two games back). On a per-game basis, the Spurs' 36-year-old big man has been a top-10 value in both eight- and nine-cat leagues.

Tim Duncan put on a clinic in a win over the Mavericks on Thursday, scoring 28 points with 19 boards, two assists and one block in 36 minutes. He rested the second half of a back-to-back set on Tuesday and needless to say he looked like an All-Star in the win. It was just the second time since January 12 that he played at least 36 minutes. The Spurs have three more back-to-back sets on the season with their next one coming up on March 31. Coach Pop could still sit Duncan even in a game that isn't in a back-to-back set, too.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) are both probable to play on Thursday. Each missed Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, but both are expected to be back in the lineup against the Mavericks. With Tony Parker (ankle) still out and just two games on Thursday, both players should be back in fantasy lineups.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) did not travel to Minnesota and will not play on Wednesday. We told you about a week ago that Duncan's next surprise DNP was around the corner, and here it is. The Spurs play again on Thursday at home against the Mavericks, and we expect both to be back in action for that one. Without Duncan and Leonard, Danny Green and Manu Ginobili will see a boost with Boris Diaw and Tiago Splitter picking up the slack down low.

Tim Duncan had 18 points, 10 rebounds, a steal and five blocks in 33 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Bulls. His next surprise DNP is likely just around the corner, but he's playing very well again, double-doubling in four straight games and in five of his last six. The Spurs play four times next week, but have a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, which means Duncan could possibly get a DNP in one of them.

After Sunday's win over the Pistons, Gregg Popovich said it's the first time "in weeks" that Tim Duncan looked like himself. Duncan said he feels "great" health-wise right now, but he also admitted that his offensive rhythm is still a work in progress after his knee and ankle injuries. Popovich added that Duncan's "timing was good" and "his blocked shots were there." Duncan was dominant in 26 minutes with 16 points, 11 boards, six assists and five blocks, and he'll be asked to do more than he usually would at this stage of the season with Tony Parker (ankle) on the shelf.
