News: As expected, Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni was back in the starting lineup for Game 2 of New York's first-round playoff series against the Celtics Tuesday. Prigioni, who was forced to miss Game 1 due to a sprained right ankle, finished with just one point in the 87-71 win. He missed his lone field-goal attempt and added five assists and one steal to his stat line, while logging 18 minutes of game action.
Analysis: Prigioni proved to be a solid addition to the team's starting roster toward the end of the season, but he still had a minimal statistical impact. The 35-year-old rookie averaged 3.5 points and 3.0 assists per game on the season and likely won't have much value heading into the 213-14 campaign.
News: The Knicks will be without presumptive starter Pablo Prigioni for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the Celtics Saturday, as he is dealing with a right ankle sprain suffered in the season finale. Prigioni was inactive for the game due to the injury, and it is not clear when he will be able to play.
Analysis: Prigioni proved to be a solid addition to the team's starting roster toward the end of the season, but he still had a minimal statistical impact. The 35-year-old rookie averaged 3.5 points and 3.0 assists per game on the season. It is not clear when he will be able to return from this injury, but he is likely to have little Fantasy value heading into next season.
News: The New York Times reports that Knicks coach Mike Woodson and Raymond Felton expect Pablo Prigioni to miss Game 1 of the first-round playoff series against the Celtics on Saturday. Prigioni, a 35-year-old rookie, sprained his right ankle in Wednesday’s regular-season finale against the Hawks. He was on crutches as he watched Thursday’s practice. It was unclear whether Prigioni would be available for Game 2 on Tuesday. “We’re definitely going to miss Pablo,” Felton said. “Hopefully we get him back for the second game.”
Analysis: Fantasy owners in any playoff league should plan to be without Prigioni for Game 1, and we should know his status in advance of Game 2. But even when healthy and active, Prigioni has minimal Fantasy value.
News: Knicks coach Mike Woodson confirmed prior to Wednesday's season finale against the Hawks that rookie guard Pablo Prigioni would be the team's starter at point guard in the playoffs, but that plan may have to change. Prigioni was forced to leave the game with an ankle injury in the first quarter, and he did not return. X-rays came back negative, and it is not clear how the injury will affect him heading into the playoffs. After the game, Woodson told reporters that he is not yet sure whether Prigioni will be available for Game 1 Saturday
Analysis: Prigioni has played a solid role for the Knicks as a rookie, though his impact has not been felt much in the box score. He is averaging 3.5 points and 3.0 assists per game in just 16.3 minutes per game. We will monitor his status heading into the postseason, but Prigioni is unlikely to be much help in playoff challenge formats.
News: Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni was in the starting lineup for the fifth game in row Tuesday against the Celtics, but he continued to have a minimal impact. Prigioni scored seven points on 3 of 6 shooting in 30 minutes of action, in a 100-85 win. He added five assists and two turnovers, while snagging three rebounds and a pair of steals.
Analysis: Prigioni is averaging 21.6 minutes per game since joining the starting lineup, but is averaging just 4.0 points and 4.2 assists per game. At 36 year's old, there probably is not much room for Prigioni to take on a bigger role, so he remains more of a low-end Fantasy option moving forward.
News: Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni was able to play through back spasms on Wednesday night against the Warriors. He scored three points on 1-of-2 shooting from downtown in the 109-105 win. Prigioni also posted a rebound and an assist while playing nine minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Prigioni entered Wednesday averaging 3.4 points with three assists thus far in his rookie campaign and is not much of a Fantasy option. Continue to ignore the 35-year-old in the majority of formats.
News:Newsday reports that Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni is dealing with back spasms, and his status for Wednesday's game against Golden State is unknown.
Analysis: Keep an eye on Prigioni's status prior to Wednesday's game, and hopefully he can play against the Warriors. When healthy and active, Prigioni has minimal Fantasy value in the majority of leagues.
News: Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni was able to play Thursday against the Celtics, after missing the team’s previous practice with a toe injury. Prigioni scored six points in 16 minutes of action, going 2 for 3 on three-pointers. He added four assists and one turnover, in an 89-86 win.
Analysis: Prigioni has shown a knack for playmaking in his first NBA season, but his chances to show off have been fairly limited. He is averaging just 3.0 assists per game in 15.2 minutes per game. With Raymond Felton on the verge of returning, Fantasy owners should consider Prigioni to be just a low-end option in deeper formats.
News: ESPN reports Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni, who missed two days of practice because of a toe injury, has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game at Boston, according to the team.
Analysis: Prigioni's production and minutes continue to fluctuate. He isn't consistent for Fantasy owners and has marginal appeal when healthy. He is far more important to the Knicks than Fantasy owners.
News: Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni did not practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Boston. Prigioni suffered a toe injury Monday against the Nets.
Analysis: Prigioni's production and minutes continue to fluctuate. He isn't consistent for Fantasy owners and has marginal appeal when healthy. He is far more important to the Knicks than Fantasy owners.
News: Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni left Monday's contest against the Nets after hurting his big right toe in the fourth quarter of the 88-85 defeat. Prigioni immediately came out of the game and was taken back to the locker room to be evaluated. He finished with one rebound and one assist prior to leaving the contest and is being considered day to day at this point. "I hit my toe," he said. "I was in big pain and I couldn't walk. ... It's just swollen. Nothing broke I think. Good news."
Analysis: Prigioni's toe was not swollen after the game and the Knicks did not say whether or not he would undergo further testing moving forward. The Knicks are already a bit shorthanded at guard and cannot afford for the 35-year-old to be sidelined for a long period of time. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his status moving forward. However, Prigioni has failed to score in three of his last five contests and should only be active in deeper formats when healthy.
News: New York point guard Pablo Prigioni made a big difference in the Knicks' win over the Hornets on Sunday afternoon. Prigioni played 29 minutes and only missed one shot as he went 3 for 4 from the field to score eight points. Prigioni hit his only 3-point shot attempt and added five assists, four rebounds and a steal in the game.
Analysis: Prigioni's impact on the game against the Hornets was felt more by the Knicks than Fantasy owners. He's only averaging 5.4 points, 3.8 assists and a steal per game over his last five, but is making big contributions for his team. Unfortunately, that doesn't do a whole lot for his Fantasy value. He is low-end in that regard.
News: Despite the absence of Raymond Felton opening up a larger role for him, Knicks guard Pablo Prigioni continued to struggle to make an impact Thursday against the Pacers. Prigioni was held scoreless in 20 minutes, shooting 0 for 2 from the field. He did add four assists without turning the ball over, as he Knicks fell, 81-76.
Analysis: Prigioni is averaging 19.6 minutes per game over the last five, over his season average of 14.2 per game. Unfortunately, his production has lagged behind, as he is averaging 3.0 points per game on 30.4 percent shooting in that span. Prigioni, known more for his play-making abilities than scoring, is also adding just 3.6 assists per game. At this point, he should be owned in just the deepest of Fantasy formats.
News: With Raymond Felton out due to a fractured finger, Pablo Prigioni saw an increased role again for the Knicks on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers. He played 22 minutes off the bench and scored two points with three assists. He went 1 for 3 from the field, missing both of his attempts from downtown. Prigioni also posted three rebounds and a steal in the 105-100 loss.
Analysis: Prigioni becomes the No. 2 point guard for New York behind Jason Kidd now with Felton's injury. He has been an inconsistent producer in his first year in the NBA, however, and stands to see a minimal boost in his Fantasy value with his increased role. Continue to ignore Prigioni in all but the deepest of formats at this point.
News: New York backup point guard Pablo Prigioni scored in double figures on Monday night against Houston after failing to score altogether in his previous three games. Prigioni played 17 minutes with Carmelo Anthony out of the lineup and scored 14 points on 5 of 10 shooting with two 3-pointers. He added five assists, three rebounds and two steals in the loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: The 35-year-old Argentinean is averaging under three points and three assists per game this season. Games like Monday's have been few and far between. He has low-end Fantasy value in all formats.
News: New York point guard Pablo Prigioni saw 25 minutes off the bench on Monday in a win at Philadelphia. Prigioni looked good during his time on the floor as he scored 11 points on 3 of 5 shooting, including a 3-pointer. He added six assists and two steals for New York in the winning effort.
Analysis: The 35-year-old Argentinian rookie was finally allowed to let loose and did so in a good way on Monday against the Sixers. Fantasy owners might consider paying attention as Prigioni could become a nice source of 3-point shooting and assists off the bench for New York. He can start seeing looks in the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
News: Knicks rookie point guard Pablo Prigioni has not shown much scoring acumen in his first preseason with the team. After a five-point showing Wednesday against the Nets, Prigioni is now averaging just 6.0 points per game. He has made up for that lack of scoring with a knack for playmaking; the 35-year-old from Argentina is averaging 6.2 assists per game, and looks to have a lock on the team’s primary backup point guard role.
Analysis: Prigioni played for Vitoria in the Spanish professional league last season. He averaged 6.7 points and 3.6 assists per game. It is hard to know how he will translate to the NBA, but he would certainly not be the first player to make the jump from Span to America successfully. To begin the season, he will likely just be used as a backup, but he has shown good ability in the pick and roll. That should prove to be a good weapon for the Knicks before long. Prigioni has some value as a deeper sleeper this season, but he should only be targeted in the deepest of Fantasy formats on Draft Day as an upside play.
