    • Pendergraph missed Monday's practice due to the birth of his daughter, the Indianapolis Star reports.
      Recommendation: Pendergraph's daughter was born Sunday, so he should not be forced to miss Wednesday's Game 1 against the Heat. However, he has not been a factor for the Pacers, as he played under eight total minutes in Round 2 against the Knicks.

    • 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.

    • West sat out the live portion of Monday's practice due to a strained right calf, the Indianapolis Star reports.
      Recommendation: The partial practice appears to be nothing more than a precaution, as the Pacers said he will be good to go for Game 1 against the Heat.

    • Anthony's injured left shoulder will be examined by team doctors in the near future to discover the extent of the ailment and the best course of treatment, the New York Daily News reports.
      Recommendation: Near the end of the regular season, Anthony suffered the initial injury, which he aggravated in Game of the first round against Boston. Since that game, he dealt with minor pain in the region but still managed to reach the 20-point threshold in his final seven games of the postseason. However, he hit just 41.6 percent of his field goals during that stretch, down from 44.9 percent during the regular season. He was certainly hampered by the concern, but luckily, the entire offseason is in front of him in case a surgery is required.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Smith said he wants to retire as a Knick, ESPN New York reports.
      Recommendation: Smith has a $2.9 million player option for next season, but he is likely to opt out and become a free agent. He had an excellent season and won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award as he averaged 18.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.3 steals a game. Before the playoffs started, it was largely assumed that Smith was going to cash in big due to his excellent regular season, but he shot only 33.1 percent in the playoffs and may have lost some money as a result. Although he wants to remain a Knick, they may offer him less than they would have before his playoff slump. Regardless of where he lands, he will likely be an excellent scoring option off the bench or as a member of a starting five.

    • Randolph was held to just two points on 1-for-8 shooting with seven rebounds and a block in 28 minutes in Sunday's Game 1 blowout loss against the Spurs.
      Recommendation: The Spurs worked very hard to contain Randolph, after he demonstrated how effective he can be in the final two games of the Grizzlies' previous series. He missed a couple easy shots that he usually makes, and was visibly frustrated, but we would expect him to bounce back to some degree in Game 2 and especially when the series moves to Memphis.

    • Thompson finished up the regular season averaging 16.6 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting (40.1 percent from 3-point distance) in 82 games. During the postseason, Thompson averaged 15.2 points on 43.7 percent shooting from the field and 42.4 percent from 3-point range.
      Recommendation: Thompson's sophomore NBA season was a drop off from the promise hinted at during his rookie campaign. There were often nights when Thompson's shot was not falling, and he labored under 40 percent shooting for the first two months of the season. After scoring a pivotal 34 points in a Game 2 win over the Spurs, Thompson followed up the final four games of the series with 10.3 points per game on 34 percent shooting. That illustrates Thompson's season overall. Very spotty and inconsistent. He remains a threat from 3-point range on any given night, but he may lose some shots next season to the developing Harrison Barnes.

    • Lee plans to have surgery to repair a torn right hip flexor in the coming weeks, the Associated Press reports. He is expected to be ready for training camp.
      Recommendation: Aside from the injury, Lee had a splendid season, averaging 18.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game in 79 games. He's developed into a nice low-post scorer with a mid-range game and an ability to draw fouls. He's often knocked for playing sub-standard defense, but there's no doubting his impact offensively.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Martin played 18 regular season games for the Knicks and averaged 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks a game while shooting 60.2 percent from the field.
      Recommendation: The Knicks signed Martin during the season when they experienced multiple injuries to their front line and it turned out to be an excellent signing. He provided them with defense and toughness up front, something they greatly lacked. Martin will be a free agent this summer and will likely only have limited fantasy value next season no matter where he signs.

    • Landry finished up the regular season averaging 10.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game in 81 games for the Warriors in 2012-13. He averaged 11.8 points and 5.2 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game during the Warriors' playoff run.
      Recommendation: Landry will be mulling his player option for a second season with Golden State, though we don't see him getting the same level of playing time next year if all hands are healthy. He played a big role in 2012-13 due to Andrew Bogut's recovery from ankle surgery. But in the playoffs when David Lee (hip) was extremely limited, head coach Mark Jackson rolled with a three-guard lineup and Harrison Barnes at the four. Landry is a talented inside scorer and rebounder, but isn't a particularly tough defender and is not considered a must-have for Golden State.
