Chris Paul, PG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $8,600

You don't need to look too far down the Rockets' pecking order to see one of the other studs you should be considering tonight. I'm talking, of course, about point guard Chris Paul.

Like his teammate Harden, Paul's past week or so is filled with a couple of absolute duds. He twice failed to hit 25 DraftKings points in games against the Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves, though he bounced back in his last two games with 40.00 and 51.75 DraftKings points, respectively.

Paul's shooting has been off this season. He is shooting career-lows in both field goal percentage (42.0%) and free throw percentage (78.8%), and his 33.9% mark from deep is his worst mark since the 2012-13 season. Recent matchups with the Lakers, however, have often acted as a panacea for Paul's woes; he's topped 50 DraftKings points in two of his past three meetings against them, including a 55.25 mark in just 30 minutes against them in the second game of the season.

We have him projected to deliver the fifth-highest fantasy output of the night.
