Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8400 DK - $8400Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 43.8 DK - 46.14 I’m a little worried about Paul coming on the second half of the back-to-back here, but he did see reduced minutes on Monday because the Suns were getting blown out by the Clippers. For the most part, Paul has seen an uptick in usage with Devin Booker out of the lineup and has taken 14+ shots in two of the last three games.

The minutes at this price point are what make him a solid cash option and we hope Toronto can stay in this one. Shooting Guard Alec Burks FD - $5600 DK - $6300Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 31.62 DK - 33.55 Derrick Rose FD - $6200 DK - $5000Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 28.93 DK - 31.3 Burks is off the injury list for this game in one that the Knicks might be playing shorthanded. They are already without RJ Barrett for the game and Quentin Grimes, who started last game, is out due to Covid protocols. That is leaving the team a bit thin at...
