    • Villanueva picked up his $8.5-million contract option with the Pistons for the 2013-14 season, the Detroit Free Press reports.
      Recommendation: Villanueva has long stated his plans to opt in to the final year of his contract, so this news comes as little surprise. Despite this news, there's no guarantee Villanueva will suit up for the Pistons next season, as the team will likely explore trade options or could opt to use the amnesty clause to waive the veteran forward.

    • Beal (leg) is weeks away from commencing basketball activities, CSN Washington reports.
      Recommendation: Beal has passed his six week period devoid of an basketball activities but intends to have an another X-ray performed on the stress fracture in his left tibia in a few weeks. If it has healed, he will then begin his rehab, which will include lifting weights and basketball activities. Despite enduring numerous injuries during his rookie season, he only missed 26 contests, an impressive number considering the severity of some of them. At the moment, he is being prudent with the concern that held him out for the final eight games of the regular season, which should give him plenty of time to be ready for the Las Vegas Summer League in July.

    • Pendergraph missed practice for the second consecutive day Tuesday to spend time with his wife and newborn daughter, Pacers.com reports.
      Recommendation: Pendergraph has not played a major role for the team in the postseason, appearing in just seven games over the first two series. In those seven appearances, he's averaged 2.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game. The Pacers are hopeful Pendergraph will rejoin the team soon, and his status for Wednesday's series opener in Miami is unknown.

    • Williams has been accused of brandishing a firearm during an argument with the mother of his son, the Boston Herald reports.
      Recommendation: Williams, who did not fire the weapon, said that he felt threatened after being approached by his son's mother, her boyfriend, and possibly one other individual. He is being investigated for second-degree domestic assault, so this could take a while to play out and may affect Williams' standing with the Celtics.

    • Barnes passed the league's concussion tests, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
      Recommendation: Barnes was held out of the entire fourth quarter of Game 6 against the Spurs due to the concussion. Having now passed concussion tests, this should not be an issue for Barnes going forward, especially with the Warriors out of the playoffs.

    • 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.

    • Copeland played 56 games during the regular season and averaged 8.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers a game. He saw his playing time decrease in the playoffs until the final two games of the series against the Indiana Pacers. He averaged only 4.1 points, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 rebound during the playoffs overall.
      Recommendation: Copeland is a restricted free agent, and it's unclear if he will return as a member of the Knicks. He is an excellent shooter from behind the arc for his size and provides lots of energy on the defensive end. He may find himself a fairly desirable commodity this offseason and could really increase his fantasy value if he can land with a team who will give him extended minutes.

    • Splitter was not much of a factor in Sunday's Game 1 win, scoring just one point with two assists and four fouls in 17 minutes.
      Recommendation: Splitter could not hang with Marc Gasol, and the Spurs got much better production from Matt Bonner (12 points in 17 minutes) off the bench. Splitter should continue to start, but this could continue to be a bad matchup for him.

    • Richardson played in only one regular season game and five playoff games for the Knicks this season. He will be a free agent this offseason.
      Recommendation: Richardson is in the twilight of his career and likely won't warrant fantasy consideration next season should he play again.

    • Pondexter had a team-high 17 points and was 5-for-9 from three-point range in Sunday's Game 1 blowout loss against the Spurs.
      Recommendation: He is the best three-point option on the Grizzlies, and was called upon to hoist with regularity to try to get the team back into Sunday's lopsided defeat. The situation called for a lot of minutes and shots for Pondexter, but we wouldn't expect him to lead Memphis in scoring in future games in this series.

    • Novak played 81 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers a game. He played nine games during the playoffs and averaged only 2.0 points and 0.4 three-pointers a game.
      Recommendation: Novak regressed this season after averaging 8.8 points and 2.5 three-pointers a game last season. He can provide fantasy owners with solid production from the behind the arc, but isn't likely to contribute much more than that again next season.

    • White played 57 games during the regular season for the Knicks, but only averaged just under nine minutes a game to go along with 2.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists a game. He also played in only four games during the Knicks' playoff run.
      Recommendation: White was nothing more than a role player for the Knicks this season and is likely going to see similar playing time next season, leaving him with limited fantasy value.

    • Camby played only 24 regular season games for the Knicks and averaged 1.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks a game. He barely saw any action in the playoffs as he averaged just over one minute over three games played.
      Recommendation: Camby was injured much of the season again and has struggled to stay healthy over the last few seasons. He is under contract with the Knicks for two more seasons, but is unlikely to provide much fantasy value considering he will have a limited role off the bench even when he is healthy.

    • Stoudemire said he wants to talk with coach Mike Woodson and the rest of the coaching staff about his role next season, ESPN New York reports.
      Recommendation: Stoudemire had another injury-filled campaign and played only 29 games in the regular season as a result, many of which he came off the bench. He averaged 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks a game, all of which were either his career-low or very close to it. Although he returned in the second round of the playoffs, he played only limited minutes off the bench. Stoudemire's fantasy value has really decreased over the last couple of seasons, and it could continue to plummet if he can't post a healthy 2013-14 campaign.

    • Prigioni played 78 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 3.5 points, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 three-pointers while playing 16 minutes a game. He saw his playing time increase slightly in the playoffs to almost 21 minutes a game and averaged 4.5 points, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 three-pointers a game.
      Recommendation: Prigioni finds himself on the open market after his rookie campaign with the Knicks. While he is a solid defensive player and provides lots of energy, he isn't likely to be a major fantasy contributor no matter where he signs.
