Fantasy Analysis
Parker scored a season-high 42 points last Saturday, so a 30 point drop-off is noticeable. Over his last five games, Parker is averaging 26 points, 7.2 assists and 1.4 steals per outing. The 29-year-old veteran has been playing well this season and should be considered a high-end guard option in all formats. (Updated 02/11/2012).

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)
