Devin Vassell - Lands on injury report Vassell (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to tightness in his left groin, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
Impact Both Vassell and Dejounte Murray (calf) could end up sitting out Monday, but the Spurs will wait to see how their starting backcourt progresses before making a final decision.

Devontae Cacok - Goes for 27 with 13 boards Cacok delivered 27 points (12-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Friday's win over the Stars.
Impact One of the best two-way players in the league and a nightly threat for a double-double, it's getting customary to see Cacok putting up absurd stat lines while filling out the stat sheet as well. His role as one of Austin's best and most productive players is not under any sort of threat at the moment.

Montrezl Harrell - Efficient effort off bench Harrell scored 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-4 FT) while adding six rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 123-117 win over the Spurs.
Impact While Mason Plumlee got the start at center and led the Hornets with 13 boards, Harrell was playing his usual energy role from the second unit and scored in double digits for the second straight game without seeing more than 17 minutes of court time. The 28-year-old is capable of bigger numbers when he gets the minutes, but Charlotte's crowded frontcourt puts a firm cap on Harrell's workload when the team's key big men are all healthy.

LaMelo Ball - Teases triple-double in win Ball scored 24 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight rebounds, seven assists and a block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 win over the Spurs.
Impact The second-year point guard flashed his skill set in a strong bounce-back performance after early foul trouble limited him to only eight minutes against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Ball still needs to learn to play with more control and consistency, but his overall results remain promising, and even with the one dud in the mix the 20-year-old is averaging 20.5 points, 6.5 assists, 6.1 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.5 steals over the last 10 games.
