Wed Feb 4 201518:56Splitter will come off bench Wednesday
Splitter will come off the bench Wednesday, Project Spurs' Paul Garcia reports.
Aron Baynes will get the start at center, but Splitter should see similar playing time, and neither guy will see typical starter's minutes.

Splitter returned to the starting lineup after missing Wednesday's game against Charlotte, scored eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT) with one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes.
Splitter has yet to see over 30 minutes this season as he still looks to regain full fitness after missing most of November due to a calf issue. The limited minutes and production mean that Splitter should be reserved for deeper fantasy league.
Sat Jan 31 201520:38Splitter will start Saturday against Clippers
Splitter will start Saturday against the Clippers, Project Spurs reports.
Splitter will replace Matt Bonner in the starting lineup. In 15 nods this season, Splitter has averaged 7.8 points (on 54 percent shooting), 4.9 rebounds, two assists, and 0.7 blocks in 20 minutes.
Sun Jan 25 201519:00Splitter will come off bench for Sunday's game against Bucks
Splitter will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Bucks, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Splitter will give way to Matt Bonner which means that Splitter still may see the 22.2 minutes per game that he's currently averaging this season. Bonner won't likely stay in the starting lineup in the long term and it's entirely possible for Splitter to get the nod once again in the near future.

Splitter saw 21 minutes on the floor against the Bulls on Thursday en route to four points, seven rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
Splitter seems to be firmly planted in the starting lineup as of right now, although he's still seeing limited minutes on the court. As a result, his value is limited and the 30-year-old should only be utilized in deeper leagues unless things change.

Splitter will start alongside Tim Duncan Sunday Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
The report goes on to say that this will likely be the trend going forward. Even though Splitter will stick in the starting lineup, his playing time will not necessarily increase. Head coach Greg Popovich's lineups often limit fantasy production, and it may be smart to take a wait and see approach to see if Splitter has gained enough value to make your fantasy team.

Splitter saw limited minutes Friday despite starting the game, scoring four points (2-4 FG) and grabbing four boards in 17 minutes. He was limited after committing five personal fouls.
The Spurs' center position has been rotating between several players, and Splitter was just the most recent guy to get the nod as a starter. In his previous 11 starts, Splitter averaged just 8.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assist and 0.8 blocks, so even when he is in the starting lineup, he doesn't produce enough to be a viable fantasy option.
Wed Jan 14 201521:56Splitter scored nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT) with four rebounds,...
Splitter scored nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT) with four rebounds, two assists and a block in 17 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
The Spurs' center spot is a revolving door at the moment, and on nights when Splitter isn't getting starter's minutes he's not likely to produce enough to be an asset in most fantasy formats.
Tue Jan 13 201522:36Splitter had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), three assists, and thre...
Splitter had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), three assists, and three rebounds in 28 minutes Tuesday against Washington.
Splitter was given the start over Boris Diaw, but didn't exactly light it up against the Wizards. Over his last 10 games, Splitter is averaging 7.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, making him a low-end option.
Tue Jan 13 201518:42Splitter will get start at center Tuesday
Splitter will get the start at center Tuesday, the Washington Post's Jorge Castillo reports.
Boris Diaw is being removed from the starting lineup, in what could just be an effort by the Spurs to match Washington's impressive size up front. Splitter should see around 30 minutes Tuesday, and the best-case scenario would be numbers approaching a double-double.

Splitter scored seven points (2-7 FG, 3-4 FT) with four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block during Saturday's win against the Timberwolves.
This may be a case of Pop protecting Splitter on the 2nd game of a back-to-back against Minnesota, who features a smaller starting frontcourt anyway. Splitter will have two days rest before the Spurs travel to face the Wizards on Tuesday, but remains a borderline fantasy option in most leagues.
Sat Jan 3 201520:33Splitter will start Saturday's game against Wizards
Splitter will start Saturday's game against the Wizards, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Splitter will return to the starting lineup after giving way to Matt Bonner in the Spurs' last game Wednesday.
Sat Dec 20 201423:30Splitter did not enter game during Saturday's loss to Mavericks
Splitter did not enter the game during Saturday's loss to the Mavericks.
Splitter, who is returning from a long calf injury, was not announced as being out prior to the game, but didn't see the court in the loss. Splitter is slowly working himself back into game shape and the starting lineup, and his fantasy value is fickle until he gets back in game shape.

Splitter (calf) scored four points (2-6 FG), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 24 minutes during the Spurs' 117-116 3OT loss versus the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Splitter returned after missing Monday's game, which was the second game of a back-to-back, and the Spurs will continue to exercise caution as they bring him back from his injury. The Spurs will look to avoid a third straight loss when they play the Blazers on Friday.

Splitter (calf) will be held out of Monday's game against the Blazers.
Splitter returned from an extended absence Wednesday against the Knicks and played in both of San Antonio's games over the weekend. He logged 20 minutes against Denver on Sunday, scoring 11 points to go with six rebounds and three assists. The Spurs will hold the center out on the second half of the back-to-back Monday, however, as they aim to bring him back slowly to avoid re-aggravating the injury.
Sat Dec 13 201400:32Splitter played 15 minutes in Friday's loss to Lakers as he cont...
Splitter played 15 minutes in Friday's loss to the Lakers as he continues to return from the calf injury that kept him out until Wednesday.
In limited action, Splitter grabbed four rebounds and scored just six points (1-1 FG, 4-4 FT). As he continues to recover from calf tightness, expect Splitter to see more and more minutes each night.
Wed Dec 10 201419:14Splitter (calf) will play minor minutes Wednesday,Project Spurs'...
Splitter (calf) will play minor minutes Wednesday,Project Spurs' Paul Garcia reports.
He is only expected to see 10-15 minutes Wednesday, so Splitter is not a good fantasy play, but it's good to see him getting worked back into the mix.
