Chris Paul, PG, Houston Rockets

Price: $9,900

Chris Paul is back up to a full workload after missing some significant time with a knee injury earlier this season, and over his last five contests he is averaging 34.2 minutes per game with a 28.1% usage rate. He has been hugely productive in that stretch as well, averaging 26.0 points, 7.6 assists, 5.6 boards and 3.0 steals -- good for 50.9 FanDuel points per game.

His price-tag is starting to catch up with that production, but it's not quite there yet, and that 50.9 still represents over 5.00 fantasy points per $1000 of salary tonight.

The Utah Jazz aren't an especially good matchup, but Paul is cheap enough that he'd offer some fantasy appeal in any matchup tonight, and the Jazz also haven't been a nightmare matchup for point guards either, allowing the league's 16th-most fantasy points per game to the position.
