Malaki Branham posted 17 points off the bench in Sunday's 120-109 road loss against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

Branham was a solid 7-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-6 from behind the 3-point arc, and he managed four rebounds with two assists and just two turnovers in 23 minutes. There's something about Portland that sets Branham off, as he also had 17 points in a meeting with the Trail Blazers in San Antonio on Nov. 17. He has 13 or more points in three of the past four games, as his usage is up lately. DFS players might want to roll the dice on him this week if his consistent minutes off the bench continues.

Malaki Branham (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Branham has been out for the last two games due to an ankle injury, but he will have a chance to make his return to the lineup on Wednesday. The team will make a determination about his status closer to game time, and his return would mean less work for Stephon Castle moving forward.

Malaki Branham has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Branham suffered a right ankle sprain earlier in the week. Devin Vassell is slated to make his season debut on Saturday for the Spurs.

Malaki Branham (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Branham suffered a sprained ankle during Thursday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and it may be serious enough to leave him sidelined against Utah. He's officially questionable to play right now, and if he's ruled out, Stephon Castle will benefit from his absence from a fantasy standpoint.

Malaki Branham scored 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3P, 3-5 FT) with four rebounds and two assists in the Spurs' 127-100 loss to the Rockets on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

It was a good game for Branham off of the bench, he secured a season-high in rebounds in this contest. It's not enough to start him in fantasy leagues, though, as his role off of the bench limits him to just occasional fantasy-useful performances.
