Chris Paul, PG, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $9,700

Chris Paul still hasn't seen his salary climb much as he goes into his third straight game with Blake Griffin out, and that means he continues to offer some really strong fantasy value.

Over his last two games, Paul has averaged 42.8 FanDuel points despite only playing 25.0 minutes per game. He also upped his production without Griffin a season ago, averaging a significant 7.7 more FanDuel points per game sans Griffin last season. This year, CP3 has averaged 1.6 FanDuel points per minute with Griffin off the floor, compared to 1.3 with him on.

Even against the slow-paced Dallas Mavericks, Paul is still a player we want to target, and with his salary still under $10,000, he makes for a great play.

Paul did tweak his hamstring last night, so keep an eye on the news as we get closer to tip-off. If Paul doesn't play and you need to make a last-minute swap at point guard, John Wall is only $200 more and is playing a huge 37.4 minutes per game in December while averaging 47.9 FanDuel points this month.
