Fantasy Analysis
Splitter was right where he usually is, playing roughly 20 minutes off the bench and providing stability in the team’s big-man rotation. He is not a big-time scorer or rebounder, however Splitter knows his roll and fills it ably, making him a decent low-end option in Fantasy playoff formats. (Updated 05/06/2012).

05/06/2012 00:56 Parker helps Spurs take 3-0 lead
Tony Parker scored 27 points, including 16 in the fourth quarter, as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Utah Jazz 102-90 Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.
In six starts last season, Tiago Splitter showed some promise by averaging 8.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. However, his chances to make any significant impact this season remain limited outside of extended absences from either Tim Duncan or DeJuan Blair. Splitter will not be worth drafting in most Fantasy formats, but will be a player worth tracking in deeper formats. Given 30-35 minutes per game, he is capable of producing around 10 points and 10 boards per game. (Updated 8/28/11)
