Player Notes

Hill (foot) came through with four steely free throws at the end of the fourth quarter as the Pacers beat the Heat in Game 2 on Friday. He finished with 18 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists, and three steals.
Recommendation: Hill played through a sore foot and was on the court for 41 minutes. He shot extremely well and played effective perimeter defense.

De Colo expressed frustration over his current role on the Spurs, the San Antonio Express-News reports. "I came here to play," De Colo said. "I prepared all year to be ready for the play-off. Finally, I do not play. The worst is that it is one of the assistants that (tell you) you're in a suit as if it was normal."
Recommendation: De Colo averaged 12.8 minutes during the regular season but has played in just three games this postseason. Coach Gregg Popovich declared De Colo as Tony Parker's backup at point guard towards the end of the season, but it has been Cory Joseph filling that role during the playoffs due to his defensive presence.

Chalmers (shoulder) played 29 minutes and had six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with five assists in the loss to the Pacers on Friday.
Recommendation: Chalmers came into the game with a shoulder injury and took a David West elbow to the injured shoulder. He stayed in the game and provided some decent passing and perimeter defense, but he appears to be performing at less than peak condition.

Wade scored 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 FT) to go along with six rebounds and five assists Friday in the loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the series.
Recommendation: Wade has only scored more than 20 points once in the playoffs (Game 2 against the Bucks). He is limited by his injured knee and will need to play better as the series heads to Indiana.

Coach Gregg Popovich said Parker is "fine," the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Recommendation: Parker's MRI came back as expected, and the contusion in his left calf is beginning to dissipate. It looks as though Parker should be fine for Saturday's Game 3 in Memphis.

Prigioni noted that he would like to stay in the NBA next season, but his future with the Knicks is unclear at this point, the New York Post reports.
Recommendation: For Prigioni to return with the Knicks, the team would have to match an offer from another team, considering he is a restricted free agent. It is unclear whether or not the Knicks will do this. He averaged 3.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists during his rookie season.

Kidd is expected to play again next season according to Knicks' coach Mike Woodson and GM Glen Grunwald, ESPN New York reports.
Recommendation: Kidd was horrible in the playoffs and even though he is under contract with the Knicks for two more seasons, there was talk he may be considering retirement. Even though nothing is set in stone yet, it appears the signs are starting to point to his return. If he does play again next season, he doesn't expect to carry much fantasy value based on the limited role he would play.

Whether or not Roberts' team option is picked up depends on how the ping pong balls fall Tuesday, The Times-Picayune reports.
Recommendation: The Pelicans are currently projected for the fifth pick in the draft, which could land them Michigan's Trey Burke. If the Pelicans think they will get Burke-the top point guard in the draft-, then Roberts isn't a necessity for the roster, despite his strong season. Of course, the Pelicans could also decide point guard isn't a need and they could look for a small forward, like Georgetown's Otto Porter.

Bayless finished with 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists, three rebounds, and two steals in Tuesday's 93-89 overtime loss against the Grizzlies.
Recommendation: The 18 points were the most Bayless has scored since Game 6 of the first round, but the Grizzlies still lost the game and will head home under the weight of a 2-0 deficit in the Western Conference Finals. Bayless and Quincy Pondexter both saw more playing time Tuesday night, while Tayshaun Prince was on the court for just 16 minutes.

Shumpert intends to play in the Las Vegas Summer League, the New York Times reports.
Recommendation: Shumpert wants to continue working on his game, with the preparation for Las Vegas and the tournament itself providing a great offseason opportunity for contact with the coaching staff. The games will act as the second-year pro's first sniff of summer league, as he was unable to participate heading into his first two seasons due to 2011's lockout and knee surgery in May of 2012.

Felton played 68 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 13.9 points, 5.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.4 steals a game. He also averaged 14.1 points, 4.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.8 three-pointers a game during the playoffs.
Recommendation: Felton played very well for the Knicks this season and was consistent throughout the season. He will enter next season as the starting point guard again and should again be a very solid fantasy option.
