Norman Powell lit up the Spurs on Tuesday with 25 points (9-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. After a few quiet performances, Powell got back on track in this game. He had scored a total of 34 points over his three previous games, including just nine in their last game on Saturday. He has had an excellent season, but he has certainly slowed down in recent months. He has had to take a back seat at times with Kawhi Leonard healthy, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Powell is at his best when Leonard is out. Powell has averaged 30 points and 3.8 triples over his last six games without Kawhi.

Ivica Zubac dominated down low on Tuesday and finished with 24 points (11-of-17 FGs), 20 rebounds, five assists and one steal in a 122-117 win over the Spurs. This was Zubac’s fourth game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds this season, and he joins Nikola Jokic (5), Domantas Sabonis (4) and Karl-Anthony Towns (4) as the only players to have more than one such game this season. He has been one of the most surprising players in fantasy basketball this season and has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues despite not previously having a top 100 finish in his career. He’ll continue to shine over the Clippers final three games and will need to be drafted much earlier next season.

Derrick Jones Jr. started on Tuesday and contributed 18 points (8-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer against the Spurs. With Kawhi Leonard sidelined for the first leg of the Clippers’ back-to-back, Jones Jr. slid into the starting unit. The increase in minutes allowed him to have his highest-scoring performance since January. Jones Jr. wasn’t the only Clipper to benefit from Leonard’s absence; Bogdan Bogdanovic chipped in 19 points, two rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers off the bench in the win. Both players will lose out on minutes and shots against the Rockets on Wednesday, though Jones Jr. will take the bigger hit.

Stephon Castle lit up the Clippers with 19 points (5-of-7 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), one rebound, eight assists, two blocks and one three-pointer on Tuesday. Castle continues to strengthen his case for Rookie of the Year. This was his fifth-straight game with at least 15 points and five assists, and he fell one point shy of making this his third-straight game with at least 20 points. With San Antonio adding at least one more lottery pick this summer, things will get interesting in the rotation next year. However, Castle was practically solidified his role as a starter next season. If he can continue to improve as a shooter this summer, he may be able to provide solid value next season, even with the team fully healthy.

Harrison Barnes led the Spurs with 24 points (8-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals and six three-pointers in a 122-117 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday. It has been an impressive month of April for Barnes. This was his fifth game of the month, and he has scored at least 20 points in four of them, with a 17-point performance sprinkled in. The 32-year-old is not known for being a valuable asset in fantasy basketball, but he has been effective lately. He’ll look to carry this hot shooting into Golden State on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday. Managers shouldn’t expect Barnes to produce anywhere near this level next season.
