ANALYSIS: Tony Parker’s old and gets maintenance days, so on the fantasy front most people are staying away. However, since coming back from a knee injury on Dec 8, Parker has looked a lot closer to his former self. He’s put up 11.8 points, 5.2 assists, 1.4 turnovers on 50.9% from the field. Pretty slick numbers from a player only 24% owned in Yahoo.
The Spurs are always near the top for efficiently moving the ball, and this year is no different as they’re ranked fourth in AST/TO (1.81) and seventh in AST% (62.1). Parker will lead the charge as they have three games in the late week. Realistically though, I’m expecting Parker to sit one of the back-to-backs (Thursday/Friday) before they tip-off at the AT&T Center against Chicago on Christmas Day.
It may be too much of a headache to deal with him for the rest of the season, so let’s take advantage for the rest of the week while he’s widely available. He could be a hold candidate if he looks good, but don’t hesitate to drop him if he sees too many days off for your liking.
