Stephen Jackson (rest) and Tiago Splitter (back) will get the night off on Tuesday, but guard Gary Neal is available to play. Neal's been out with a foot injury, but should see some action tonight, while it looks like Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan should all play tonight.

Stephen Jackson was blunt in his appraisal of the Bucks, saying that "losing was accepted ... it felt like a college atmosphere ... [and] there was a lot of negative stuff going on there." Jackson would probably have done better to keep silent about his dissatisfaction, but at least the cantankerous veteran is happy to be back with the Spurs.

Stephen Jackson scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting (including a three) with eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench on Friday. We're not sold on Jackson's workload on a day-to-day basis, but we're relatively confident that Gregg Popovich isn't going to bury him in the rotation and Jackson has already been productive with his minutes. That adds up to enough value to be owned in most formats, but with expectations fully in check.

Stephen Jackson hit 6-of-9 shots and three 3-pointers for 16 points, three rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Wolves. Jackson was solid tonight, and might have a better chance at playing minutes than some of the other Spurs' vets, as he still has to get to know his teammates. But the Spurs play a brutal schedule starting Friday, when they go five times in six nights, and have six sets of back-to-back situations in April. Kawhi Leonard could start at small forward the rest of the way, but Jackson is a decent add based on tonight's performance. Just beware that Gregg Popovich could give Jackson the occasional night off.

Stephen Jackson made his 2011-12 Spurs debut on Saturday with five points and one assist in 17 minutes off the bench. Jackson frequently quotes Tim Duncan, who apparently once referred to Jax as the ideal teammate, and Gregg Popovich has more than enough authority to keep the veteran swingman in line. In other words, it's a good situation for Jackson. His real-world value for San Antonio will exceed his fantasy value, but he's worth a look if you need low-level production and can absorb his FG percentage (35.7 percent this season).

Stephen Jackson has passed his physical with the Spurs, completing the trade that sent Richard Jefferson to the Warriors. Jackson will be in uniform vs. the Mavericks on Saturday, but it's unclear whether or not he'll get into the game. The Spurs are playing very well and Gregg Popovich may choose with withhold Jackson until he's acclimated to the team -- either way, fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach to the veteran's new role in San Antonio.

Warriors general manager Larry Riley said that his team will keep newly acquired Stephen Jackson. There had been some speculation that the Warriors would look to move the veteran swingman in a separate deal, but it appears that he'll remain with Golden State. It would've been a surprise to see him moved due to his ridiculous contract, and the Warriors had no success fielding attractive offers. With Mark Jackson reportedly excited to work with Jackson, we will have to see what type of role he'll garner going forward once he's integrated into the mix.

The Warriors are "leaning toward keeping" Stephen Jackson, sources tell the San Francisco Chronicle. It's going to be really hard to pass Jackson and his $10 million 2012-13 contract along before Thursday's deadline. The Warriors could consider a buyout, but they are already short-handed now that they have Andrew Bogut (ankle, out indefinitely) and Stephen Curry (ankle) both on the shelf. It remains to be seen exactly what role Jackson will have, but the Warriors are clearly building for the future now. Klay Thompson, not Jackson, is part of that young core.
