Sat Mar 22 201421:27Matt Bonner (calf) out vs. Warriors
Matt Bonner will not play against the Warriors due to a right calf strain.
He had a calf issue back in November and the Spurs might not just be resting him here. Regardless, Bonner's value in the NBA doesn't reside in the realm of fantasy.

Mon Jan 20 201418:17Matt Bonner is listed as probable on Wed.
Matt Bonner (nose) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
"By tomorrow, I'll either have a new mask or a new face," Bonner said on Monday. He's one of the easiest players to root for and his unconventional shot is a great microcosm of his character. While we like watching Bonner on the court for his terrific range and how the red-headed big man in a mask should be a great sight, he doesn't have much fantasy value.

Sun Jan 19 201417:32Matt Bonner won't play on Sunday
Matt Bonner will not play on Sunday due to his nasal fracture.
He is going to wear a mask upon his return to the lineup, but the Spurs will hold him out for now. He's not worth using in almost any fantasy format even with Tiago Splitter out with a shoulder injury.

Sun Jan 19 201410:53Matt Bonner (nose) to wear protective mask
Matt Bonner (broken nose) will have to wear a mask to play for next four weeks, and it's possible he will need surgery in the offseason.
"The Red Mamba" has no fantasy relevance as he's currently averaging 3.3 points and 1.6 rebounds on the season, but it may be amusing to watch him play with a protective mask.

Fri Jan 17 201421:42Matt Bonner breaks nose vs. Blazers
Matt Bonner suffered a broken nose against the Blazers on Friday and will not return.
He caught Thomas Robinson's head in the face and it's unknown if Bonner was rattled enough to be tested for a concussion. He finished with no points and three boards in six minutes. Bonner might be sporting a mask when he's able to return, which seems like must-see TV.

Mon Jan 13 201409:12Matt Bonner steps up w/ season-high 14 points
Matt Bonner stepped up for the short-handed Spurs on Sunday, scoring a season-high 14 points while going 4-of-5 from downtown.
"It's easy if I get [open shots] right when I come in and I'm not hyperventilating from the lack of oxygen," said Bonner, poking fun at his own conditioning. The veteran also teamed with Boris Diaw to stifle Kevin Love, but even without Tiago Splitter (shoulder) there's no reason for fantasy owners to glance at Bonner.

Sun May 19 201318:26Matt Bonner scores 12 points in 17 minutes
Matt Bonner was sprung into action on Sunday and hit four 3-pointers in 17 minutes, scoring 12 points with two boards and one assist.
Bonner played just 9.7 minutes per game in the series vs. the Warriors, but Gregg Popovich wisely utilized him more in an effort to mess with Memphis' rhythm on both ends. Pop playing the matchups is old hat these days and fantasy owners can tell you all about how he rarely treats his opponents the same.

Sun May 19 201311:40Matt Bonner expects to play vs. Grizzlies
Matt Bonner expects to play vs. Memphis in the Western Conference Finals, vowing to "spread the floor when [he's] open."
Bonner averaged 26 minutes per game vs. the Lakers in the first round, but he nearly fell out of the rotation vs. the Warriors. As for matching up with the Grizzlies' rugged frontcourt, Bonner said that "it's more about matching their physicality and being in the right position so you can rely on your teammates to help you."

Sun Apr 28 201310:21Bonner, Blair, Baynes to see more minutes now
Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair and Aron Baynes are all expected to see more minutes with Tiago Splitter (ankle) unavailable.
Bonner's ability to space the floor has proven to be a weapon for the Spurs, but it's unlikely that any of the three guys listed here are going to become serious fantasy assets. Splitter is only expected to miss 7-10 days, so the window of opportunity is not large here.

Sun Apr 7 201312:56Matt Bonner blocks career-high four shots
Matt Bonner blocked a career-high four shots in Saturday's win over the Hawks, though he didn't score in 15 minutes of action.
Bonner joked that he should have had even more blocks. "I think they gave one of mine to Tim [Duncan]," he said. "Just another day in the life of the Red Mamba."

Tue Mar 12 201318:41Bonner and Jackson to start on Tuesday
Matt Bonner and Stephen Jackson will start for Tim Duncan (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (knee/rest) on Tuesday against the Wolves.
If you're in a deeper league and you want to gamble on either guy feel free, just realize that it's a game of roulette even when guys are missing from the lineup.

Sun Feb 3 201300:20Matt Bonner (knee) plays 14 minutes off bench
Matt Bonner (knee) played 14 minutes off the bench on Saturday, scoring four points and grabbing two rebounds.
The Red Rocket gives Gregg Popovich another dangerous weapon for his arsenal, but fantasy owners shouldn't bother to guess when he'll be deployed since his role hinges on matchups and Pop's whims.
