Chris Paul, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Salary: $8,100

Chris Paul also stands to benefit from injuries tonight, as his Houston Rockets will be without both James Harden and Clint Capela against the Chicago Bulls. Even without those two, they are huge favorites in a home game that could easily be over by halftime. With that blowout risk considered, Paul is more of a tournament play than a cash-game lock tonight.

However, Paul has averaged a ridiculous 1.64 DraftKings points per minute without Harden this season, giving him immense upside at this price tag. He needs just 40.5 DraftKings points to reach value at this cost, and that could be done in only 25 minutes at a rate of 1.64 DraftKings point per minute. So even if this game is lopsided, Paul could still exceed value. If the contest stays close, Paul's 59 DraftKings points per-36 minutes without Harden gives him one of the highest ceilings on the entire slate.

Definitely make some hedge lineups in case this one gets ugly early. You should probably aim to be overweight on Paul compared to the field, though, as he is simply way too cheap. We saw him priced up above $10,000 without Harden earlier this season, so this price tag clearly stands out as one to take advantage of. Target CP3 liberally in tournaments.
