Chris Paul, PG, Los Angeles Clippers

Price: $9,700

Chris Paul is back from suspension tonight, and that comes just in time for the Houston Rockets, as they will be playing without James Harden (hamstring) for at least two games.

Dating back to the start of last season, Paul has posted only a 20.4% usage rate and averages 1.00 FanDuel points per minute with Harden on the floor, but sees that jump way up to a 31.7% usage rate and 1.62 FanDuel points per minute with Harden off the floor. That puts him in elite fantasy producer territory, and while his price tag is up tonight, it's not high enough to capture the boost he sees without Harden.

Even in an unexciting matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, who have a middling pace and solid defensive rating, the massively expanded workload Paul stands to see makes him one of Friday's top plays.
