Spurs will rest everyone on Friday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (rest), forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (rest), forward/center Pau Gasol (rest), guard/forward Manu Ginobili (quad), guard/forward Danny Green (quad) and point guard Dejounte Murray will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.
What It Means:
Kyle Anderson stands to pick up most of Leonard's minutes but Jonathon Simmons (11.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 3-pointers over his last three games) will also see plenty of run. David Lee, Davis Bertans and Dewayne Dedmon (blocks) will all fill the void in the frontcourt and could each be worth a respective look if you need to take a flier on someone. In the backcourt, Patty Mills and Bryn Forbes will share the minutes Tony Parker doesn't get.
Over his last three contests, Anderson is averaging 7.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per contest.
