Chris Paul ejected from Rockets' victory over Lakers
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was ejected in the fourth quarter of a 124-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.
Paul aggressively put his fingers in Rajon Rondo's face, provoking Rondo to throw a punch, leading to a punch from Paul, which resulted in both players being ejected. Multi-game suspensions will likely be announced Sunday afternoon. The Rockets play the Los Angeles Clippers at 9:00 pm ET.
Paul turned in 28 points (9-of-17 field goals, 7-of-9 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 3 3-pointers, and 3 turnovers over 29.7 minutes, finishing with 51.4 FanDuel points. He's averaging 45.2 FanDuel points through two games.
