Ginobili (coach's decision) didn't play in Monday's 119-68 victory over the 76ers.

Analysis:

The Spurs announced prior to Monday's contest that starters Tim Duncan (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (illness) wouldn't suit up, and though Ginobili was active, he too didn't see the court in a game that was a blowout from the start. The Spurs figure to give occasional nights off to Ginobili through the season to preserve him for the postseason, which will work to limit his value in both season-long and daily formats.
