- Koufos will not play for the Greek national team this summer at FIBA Eurobasket 2013, the Denver Post reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Instead, Koufos is opting to spend the summer in Denver in order to work with the Nuggets' coaching and training staff. In 2012-13, he easily posted the best season of his five-year career, averaging 8.0 points (on 58.1 percent shooting), 6.9 boards, and 1.3 blocks in 22.4 minutes. While it's tough to project much more output with JaVale McGee and Timofey Mozgov present in Denver's frontcourt, Koufos will likely earn more minutes due to his ability to do all the little things.

- Williams was at the Celtics' practice facility Saturday, as no charges have yet been filed in his recent dealings with the law, ESPN Boston reports. Speaking of the situation, he said, "It's very frustrating, because I was there, I know what happened, and I know what didn't happen."(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Williams pulled a gun when he presumably felt threatened by the mother of his son and some other individuals. While the circumstances will likely continue to be murky, his contract with the Celtics does not appear to be threatened. However, any potential charges could result in the team have the ability to get out of the multi-year deal he signed this past season.

- Vasquez (ankle) said on his twitter account that he expects to be out for 12-16 weeks.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: This confirms that Vasquez will likely need nearly the entire offseason to rehab, while still putting him on track to be ready for the first game of the 2013-14 campaign. He recently underwent a procedure to remove bone spurs from his right ankle.

- 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."(Rotowire.com)
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.

- James led the Heat with 36 points (14-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT) with eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals in the loss to the Pacers on Friday. He did have two crucial turnovers in the late stages of the fourth quarter.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: James played very efficiently and battled on the boards. He did not receive much support in the loss and the rest of the Miami players hit just 37.8 percent of their field goals. It will be interesting to see if the league's MVP can raise his game in Indiana.

- George had 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) with six assists in the win over the Heat on Friday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: George had a vicious dunk near the end of the third quarter and was able to get himself open at times. He is looking more and more like a future superstar in the NBA.

- 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.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Hill played through a sore foot and was on the court for 41 minutes. He shot extremely well and played effective perimeter defense.

- Stephenson continued his fine playoff play with 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals in the win over Miami on Friday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Stephenson appeared to hit the funny bone in his elbow at one point, but he returned to the game soon thereafter. Even though he has not shot well against the Heat in the first two games, he has played big minutes and offered a wide variety of stats.

- Young sprained his ankle in Game 2 against the Heat on Friday. He played 10 minutes and had one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with two rebounds.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Young provided a few minutes of defense on LeBron James. If he can not play as the series goes back to Indiana, the shallow Pacer bench could be even less effective.

- Biedrins will exercise his player option with the Warriors for the 2013-14 season, CSN Northwest reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: The player option will pay him $9 million next season, which is the final year of his six-year, $54 million contract. Biedrins averaged just 9.3 minutes over 53 games last season, so his return is irrelevant in fantasy.

- 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.(Rotowire.com)
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.(Rotowire.com)
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.

- Duncan appears to be getting a divorce, but the legal papers filed request that the divorce not be processed until after the Spurs' season has ended, the San Antonio Express-News reports.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Duncan and his current wife's initials are used as identifiers in the report. Coupling that with the unique request to delay the processing of the divorce until after the Spurs' season suggests the divorce papers could only be Duncan's. With Duncan playing terrifically in the playoffs, it seems he's doing a fine job separating his life challenges from his challenges on the court.

- West scored 13 points (2-9 FG, 9-10 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and three assists Friday in the win over the Heat.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: West had a rough time around the basket, but was able to accrue foul shots and put down his freebies. He also was responsible for two LeBron James turnovers in the final minute of play to help secure the Indiana win. His toughness and size (in combination with Roy Hibbert) are problems for the Heat.

- Bosh had 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT) with five rebounds in the Game 2 loss to Indiana on Friday.(Rotowire.com)
Recommendation: Bosh came up with some inspirational plays, but did not play as well as he did in the Game 1 win. He hit a pair of corner 3-pointers, but was unable to help corral Roy Hibbert.
