Chris Paul, PG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $7,800

If the playoffs started today, the Houston Rockets--last year's number one seed in the Western Conference--would not be among the eight teams vying for the title. Losers of three straight, the Rockets sit at just 11-14. They'll look to turn it around tonight against the Trail Blazers. If they're going to do so, it's likely that Chris Paul will be heavily involved.

Paul's recent performances against the Blazers have, if anything, been rather predictable. He's scored at least 40 DraftKings points in nine of his past 10 games against Portland. In that 10-game span, Paul has put up averages of 24.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 47.2 DraftKings points.

We don't quite see him hitting those heights tonight, but we do have him marked for 41.9 DraftKings points. The resulting value of just under 5.4 DraftKings points per $1,000 is the our second-highest projected value for any player priced over $6,000 tonight.
