A.J.

Price

Price was backing up Darren Collison, but George Hill will fill that role now. Barbosa steps into Hill’s old role as the backup shooting guard behind Paul George. Price is headed for a bit gig and garbage time minutes.

Hill’s injury isn’t serious, but the Pacers are resting anyone with any minor ailments. They’ve locked up the No. 3 seed in the East. Hill is questionable for Wednesday’s regular season finale, but we’d expect limited minutes even if he’s active. A.J. Price is starting Monday.

Pendergraph added two blocks and an assist. He might be worth a look in deeper leagues for Wednesday’s finale against the Bulls, as Hibbert has already been announced to be on a minute-limit for that contest. Fellow starters A.J. Price scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting with four rebounds and six assists in 17 minutes, and Dahntay Jones had six points on 2-of-7 shooting with three boards, two assists, and a three.

He got some extra run as the Pacers went with their bench for much of the game, but should have no fantasy value as long as Darren Collison is healthy.

Frank Vogel said the team is “committed” to Stephenson, adding, “He’s going to be a tremendous weapon for us at some point. He’s still got to get his feet wet. He saw virtually no time last year, so he’s essentially a rookie.” Keep an eye on him in deep leagues.

Price has missed the last two games with strep throat, but this news should not have relevance in your fantasy league.

The Nuggets were using some oddball lineups which may have caused the Pacers to mix-and-match, thus resulting in more action for Price. He’s plenty talented and would be fun to watch in heavy minutes, but hadn’t cracked 16 minutes in a game all season.

We’re taking him off the injury report unless we get another report. Price has no value in fantasy leagues and his impact on the rotation is minimal.

This news should not impact your fantasy league as Price hasn’t seen more than 15 minutes in a game this year and is averaging 1.3 points per game.

The Pacers will use Lance Stephenson to backup Paul George at shooting guard and Dahntay Jones behind Danny Granger at small forward. Frank Vogel said that Price will play between 12-16 minutes behind Collison, making him very unlikely to accumulate fantasy value in standard sized leagues.
