Parker sits last two: With just two games remaining, on Wednesday and Thursday, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told the San Antonio Express-News on Wednesday that veterans Tony Parker, Manu Ginbobili and Tim Duncan will all miss the final two games of the regular season. Neither of the three is dealing with any sort of injuries, so Popovich is simply resting them until the playoffs. (Updated 04/25/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Parker has rested some this season, however when he has been on the court, he has been tremendous. Fantasy owners still finishing out the season should keep him reserved for the final two games. However as soon as the post season begins, owners in all formats should get him in the lineup for postseason Fantasy leagues, as he remains a high-end option. (Updated 04/25/2012).

Tim Duncan scored 21 points, Tony Parker added 17 and the San Antonio Spurs rallied in the final minutes to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 102-99 on Sunday night, closing out the series 4-0 and advancing to the Western Conference finals.
05/21/2012 00:48 Feeling the pain of another playoff loss, Paul vows: 'This isn't it'
LOS ANGELES -- Chris Paul had a turnover and an off-balance miss in the final 30 seconds as the Spurs held on to remain undefeated in the playoffs -- and 18-0 since April 11 -- with a 102-99 victory over the Clippers Sunday night. With their second straight sweep, the Spurs advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2008.

Tim Duncan scored 19 points, helping engineer a 24-0 run in the third quarter after the Spurs trailed by 24 points earlier, and San Antonio defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 96-86 on Saturday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their second-round playoff series.
05/19/2012 17:51 Duncan, Spurs stay calm in comeback for 3-0 lead over Clippers
LOS ANGELES -- Not even a 24-point lead is safe against the dominant San Antonio Spurs, especially when the feast-or-famine Clippers are on the other end of it. The Spurs remained undefeated in the playoffs -- and since April 11 -- by storming back from two-dozen points down in the second quarter and beating the Clippers 96-86 to take a 3-0 series lead.
Tony Parker is a quandary in Fantasy Basketball. Seemingly capable of being one of the top point guards in Fantasy, he is sometimes limited by the scope of his role under coach Gregg Popovich. Case and point, he averaged a career best 22 points per game during the 2008-09 season when he was allowed to shoot the ball a career-high 17.5 times per game. He has averaged no more than 17 points per game over the last two seasons while being held to below 14 shots per game. So while the ceiling remains very high across the board for Parker (he can score and pass with the best guards in the NBA), he remains a notch below the top-tier guards and should be targeted as more of a luxurious No. 2 option once the Chris Pauls, Russell Westbrooks and Steve Nashes of the world are off the board. If Parker is the first guard you are looking to take in a draft, you have waited too long. In category leagues, look for him to help across the board, but he can hurt you in free-throw shooting and doesn't shoot very many threes. (Updated 8/28/11)
