Player Notes

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.

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.
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.

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.

Hibbert had a playoff career-high 29 points (10-15 FG, 9-10 FT) with 10 rebounds in the win over Miami in Game 2 on Friday.
Recommendation: The Pacer center did not record a blocked shot, but the Heat were clearly aware of that Hibbert was present. He had six offensive rebounds and was a bully in the paint. Plus, Hibbert was on the court at the end of the fourth quarter.

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.
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.

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.

Biedrins will exercise his player option with the Warriors for the 2013-14 season, CSN Northwest reports.
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.

Jones intends to opt into his player option with the Heat for next season, Fox Sports reports.
Recommendation: Jones averaged just six minutes of action in the 38 games in which he appeared with the Heat this season and has mostly become a forgotten man on the team's deep roster. If Mike Miller is released, as has been discussed as a very real possibility, and Ray Allen decides to retire or opt out of his contract, Jones could find himself playing a larger role next season.

Sullinger (back) is currently on a 10-week rehab program, ESPN Boston reports.
Recommendation: Sullinger started light workouts about two weeks ago and hopes to be 100 percent by training camp.

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.

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.

Hansbrough scored 10 points with six rebounds and one steal in 12 minutes Wednesday night in Indiana's overtime loss to Miami in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Recommendation: Hansbrough was needed for some early minutes and gave the Pacers a boost when David West picked up three fouls in the first half.

White is unlikely to return with New York next season, ESPN New York reports.
Recommendation: White's agent, William McCandless, noted that White values his playing time, which was certainly lacking in New York. He started 16 games and averaged only 7.6 minutes and 2.2 points per game. White has a team option next season for about $1 million. The Knicks will have to reach a decision on what to do with him by June 30. If they do not choose to accept the team option, he will become an unrestricted free agent. If White is looking to make the most money, he may have to return to his previous career path and play for an international team. McCandless noted that there has been plenty of interest by international teams already and that White would not hesitate to go to these teams.
