Chris Paul, PG, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $9,200

Chris Paul has been struggling with a hamstring injury, which has so far kept him from making the big jump in fantasy production we can expect to see from him with Blake Griffin out. Paul played 30 minutes in his return to action on Wednesday, though, and is not on the injury report for tonight.

In five games without Griffin this season, Paul is averaging 49.3 FanDuel points in 31.0 minutes per game. That includes a pair of games in which he played fewer than 27 minutes because of that hamstring injury, and he will likely be much closer to his usual load of minutes tonight.

He also draws a great matchup tonight as the Los Angeles Clippers will be playing up in pace against the Houston Rockets, who have played at the league's third-fastest pace this month.

Editor's note: Paul has been ruled out for tonight's game due to injury.
