Pick #2: Chris Paul PR Under 18.5 (-110 DK)


Paul is coming off an injury that has sidelined him for about 22 days and he's playing against a Memphis team that as of late, hasn't given up much to point guards. In the last 2 weeks of play, Memphis is 15th in points given up to pgs, rebounds they give up the 7th most. So why am I doing rebounds? To explain myself, with the total for the game being relatively high at 233 on DK, I don't expect many bricks, let alone many to go Paul's way with guys like Josh Okogie and Bismack Biyombo on the floor. In the the 2 games played this season vs Memphis, Paul has gone under this line in both. With him likely seeing a soft minutes restriction/the game may end up getting away from Phoenix as they are still lacking many starters, I don't suspect Paul to score or rebound much.  To note as well, Paul will likely be looking to dime up recently returned SF starter Cam Johnson and get him back in rhythm, as opposed to himself.
