Duncan scored 10 points (5-9 FG) while adding a game-high 18 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Apparently, the rest he got Friday night paid off. It was the fifth double-double of the season for the ageless Duncan, and while his minutes and production continue their gradual decline, his field goal percentage is also the highest it's been since the 2006-2007 season.

Duncan, along with the rest of the Spurs players, will be available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Project Spurs' Paul Garcia reports.
EDGE Analysis
He missed the first half of this weekend's back-to-back set to rest, but will be back in the starting lineup Saturday, as expected. Deploy him as usual, just be sure to continue to diligently follow his status, as more rest days will surely be coming.

Duncan (rest) will not play Friday in Denver, Tom Osborn of MySanAntonio.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duncan did not travel with the team as the Spurs have opted to rest their star veteran. He and Manu Ginobili will not be in attendance. This does not come as a surprise considering coach Popovich's history of resting his players during the regular season. It is unclear what the Spurs will do with their rotation, but one option would be bumping LaMarcus Aldridge to center and inserting David West in at Power Forward. Duncan could return on the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back Saturday versus Atlanta.

Duncan scored a season-low two points (1-4 FG) to go with nine rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 28 minutes Wednesday against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Duncan has now scored in single-digits three times over the last four games, and it appears he's exerting himself a little more passively on the offensive end than usual. He's already 39 years old, and with the Spurs set on getting a strong seed for the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Duncan's numbers take a dip. If there's a time to sell him at a decent price before it's too late, now may be ideal.

Duncan collected 10 points (5-8 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks over 36 minutes in Saturday's 92-82 victory over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Duncan bounced back from his worst outing of the season versus the Pelicans on Friday, a game in which he failed to tally a single rebound for the first time in 1,343 career contests. While he played a season-low 19 minutes against New Orleans, Duncan was on the floor for a season-high 36 minutes Saturday and responded with his fourth double-double of the campaign. Duncan was particularly outstanding on the defensive end, amassing a season-best four steals in addition to eight boards on the defensive glass. Outside of the outlier performance Friday, Duncan has generally provided solid and dependable production this season.

Duncan posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, a season-high six blocks, and one steal in 28 minutes Wednesday against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Duncan is averaging 12.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 3.2 blocks over the last five games and has demonstrated consistency throughout the season. He's not scoring too many points, but he's been very efficient with the minutes given, and owners can continue this steady all-around production moving forward.

Duncan scored 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 FT) with five blocks, four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
With the five blocks, Duncan passed former teammate David Robinson to become the Spurs' all-time franchise leader in the category at 2,955, which also puts him fifth on the league's career leader board. The 19-year veteran just keeps rolling along, and Duncan is now averaging 11.4 points, 8.9 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in seven November games.

Duncan posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 21 minutes of action Wednesday against the Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Duncan's all-around production Wednesday demonstrates the veteran's ability to still provide useful numbers even at the age of 39. He's not going to produce flashy lines night in and night out, but his consistency and efficiency are what make him a strong fantasy option even today.

Duncan grabbed a double-double posting 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes of action Monday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
While it's unfortunate he didn't post any defensive stats on Monday, the veteran was still efficient in limited minutes. He isn't getting any younger, which means the Spurs may bench him every now and then down the stretch. However, he's still producing enough to hold value in most leagues.

Duncan grabbed a double-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two blocks in 35 minutes of action Monday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Even at the age of 39, Duncan has proven that he can be a reliable fantasy option, thanks to his efficient production across the board. As usual, he'll be slated to sit some games every now and then (per Spurs tradition), but as long as he's healthy, he'll be well worth a spot in most leagues.
