Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't be suiting up anymore for the team's game on Wednesday night versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Earlier in the day, he was listed as questionable but was downgraded as tipoff got closer. With the veteran floor general missing this game, Cameron Payne becomes a very good streaming option as he likely steps into the starting role. Damion Lee could also see a little uptick in minutes as one of the guards off of the bench.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (heel) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul left Monday's game abruptly with a heel injury and did not return. The injury report is listing this as heel soreness, so it should not be considered serious. However, if Paul is ruled out or limited in any capacity, Cameron Payne would be the biggest benefactor and a popular waiver add in season long leagues.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't return to Monday's meeting against Philadelphia. The veteran was taken to the locker room and evaluated for right heel soreness, ending his night after only 14 minutes of work. He'll likely have more tests done over the next day or so. However, it's doubtful the Suns will take any chances, so fantasy managers may not see him out there against the Timberwolves on Wednesday night. If that's the case, Cameron Payne will likely enter the starting lineup and can provide plenty of relief for fantasy managers looking to replace Paul.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul had a productive, all-around night against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. The veteran dropped 15 points, eight rebounds, 12 assists, and three steals while shooting 5-for-12 from the floor and only turning the ball over once. If there's anyone to get in fantasy with a high assist-to-turnover ratio it would be Paul. He already leads the league with 11 assists per game and doesn't even average two turnovers to go along with that.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul put on a playmaking clinic against the Rockets on Sunday, finishing a 124-109 win with a season-high 15 assists. He also recorded his second double-double of the season by getting 10 points on 3-for-7 shooting from the field and played 31 minutes without committing a single turnover. Paul is 37 now, and he is slowing down, but he remains an elite ball-handler and playmaker, as he demonstrated on Sunday. The veteran floor general is currently averaging only 9.3 points per game, but he should be able to provide his scoring numbers a nice boost once he finds his rhythm. There have been a few really ugly shooting nights for Paul so far, and it left his field-goal efficiency sit a lowly 34.6 percent.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul cashed in a solid all-around night on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The 37-year-old veteran finished the win with 16 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal. He just loves playing against the Warriors in his career. They are the only team that he still averages over 20 points per game against. While fantasy managers may need to look out for rest days, Paul should be a viable guard in all fantasy formats.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul compiled a game-high 10 assists during his team's Game 5 victory Tuesday. The 10 dimes are a series high for Paul, who opted to setup his teammates, as he shot just 3-for-8 from the floor. Having finished with seven points, two rebounds, and four turnovers, it ultimately marked another underwhelming statistical performance from the Suns' floor general, even as he has shot the ball at a high percentage (56%) for the series. The 37-year-old remains vital to a run back to the NBA Finals for Phoenix, so he will have ample opportunities to pack the stat sheet come Game 6 on Thursday.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul finished with only five points during the postseason loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon. The veteran took a while before scoring his first bucket. Even worse, he got into early foul trouble, which haunted him throughout the contest. Paul eventually fouled out in the fourth quarter, leaving DFS managers with a miserable taste in their mouths. Nonetheless, while the 37-year-old has struggled throughout the last two games in enemy territory, he'll have a chance to bounce back at home, where he's played considerably better. Adjustments will be made, so DFS managers should take advantage of his anticipated decreased rostering cost heading into a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday night.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is making sure everyone knows that he still has something left in the tank. The veteran guard hit 11-of-16 shots for 28 points, six rebounds, and eight assists in the Game 2 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Paul came out on fire in the second half and registered nine straight buckets. Both Paul and Devin Booker combined to hit 22-of-35 shots in this game. The Mavericks must find a way to slow these two down or this series could be over soon.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul helped lead the team to a 3-2 series lead over the New Orleans Pelicans with Tuesday's 112-97 win. He scored 22 points and added 11 assists, six rebounds and three steals while only committing one turnover. He shot 8-for-18 from the field and 6-for-6 from the free throw line in the game. Paul was coming off a rough outing in Game 4. He scored just four points while shooting 2-for-8 from the field in Game 4, so it was especially encouraging to see a strong bounce-back effort on Tuesday. Paul and the Suns will look to close out the series in Game 6 on Thursday.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul had a rough shooting night in the team's 118-103 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. He went just 2-for-8 from the field in the game, missing all three of his three-point attempts. He scored just four points, but still managed to make his mark on the offensive end of the floor by dishing out 11 assists. He also racked up two steals and three boards in the game. The game outcomes have been extremely dependent on CP3's offensive output this series. When he's scored 20-plus points, the Suns have won. When he's failed to reach 20 points, the team has lost. We'll see what he can bring to the table in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul logged his second consecutive double-double to begin the 2022 postseason, but this performance came with the caveat of shooting just 5-for-16 overall. Paul collected 17 points and 14 assists across his 36 minutes and was asked to shoulder a heavier offensive load during the second half with Devin Booker (hamstring) unavailable. Despite the rare shooting rough patch, Paul did not record a turnover, marking the 15th time in his playoff career that has occurred. Only on 11 other occasions has Paul dished out at least 14 dimes in the playoffs, with the most recent coming last year in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semis vs. Denver. If Booker remains out for Game 3 on Friday, DFS managers can target Paul due to the likely heavier load he would shoulder.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul kicked off his participation in the 2022 playoffs with a dominant 30-point, 10-assist showing in Sunday's victory over New Orleans. Paul delivered four postseason double-doubles during Phoenix's run to the NBA Finals last year, and he's already off on the right foot, having added seven rebounds and three steals for a night of enormous fantasy production. (His last 30-point playoff double-double came May 8, 2018, while with the Rockets.) Paul shot 12-for-16 from the field overall, including going 4-for-6 from behind the arc, dominating a New Orleans backcourt that doesn't appear to have a ready-made answer to slowing the 12-time All-Star. The 36-year-old is likely to incur a significant DFS price jump ahead of Game 2 on Tuesday.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (back) and point guard Chris Paul (thumb) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Clippers. Booker and Paul join Deandre Ayton (ankle) and Jae Crowder (ankle) in sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back, as the Suns have already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference. The absence of Booker and Paul in the backcourt paves the way for Cameron Payne, Landry Shamet, and Aaron Holiday to shine as DFS options. Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson also stand out due to the large percentage of offense that the Suns will be missing. Fantasy managers can anticipate having Booker and Paul back Friday vs. Utah.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul returned from a 15-game absence for Thursday's win over the Nuggets and immediately got back into the double-double column with 17 points and 13 assists across 30 minutes of action. While Paul, the league's leading assist man at 10.7 per game, was expected to have his minutes monitored, he wound up playing essentially his regular workload, a boon for his fantasy value. Cameron Payne, who had started at the point in Paul's absence, was limited to just 18 minutes off the bench and no longer carries season-long appeal with Paul on the floor. Six of Phoenix's final eight games feature teams currently in the playoff picture, with Paul likely needing a decent minutes share to ramp-up for postseason action.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (thumb) has been cleared to play in Thursday's contest vs. Denver, marking his first in-game action since Feb. 16. Paul, the league's leading assist man (10.7 per game), missed 15 games due a fractured thumb. With the 12-time All-Star back in the mix, Cameron Payne is set to reclaim his role among the second unit, thereby zapping him of a large chunk of his fantasy appeal. Paul's return does also cap the ceiling of Devin Booker somewhat, although the veteran's minutes total may be monitored in the short-term. Ultimately, his regular-season return is a boon for season-long fantasy managers, who should have no hesitation in firing him up for playoff matchups.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (thumb) is expected to return to the court for Thursday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. According to Shams Charania, the Suns have deemed him "probable" to play in the game. Paul has missed each of the team's last 15 games with a fractured thumb. It was originally anticipated that he'd miss the remainder of the regular season, so clearly he's well ahead of schedule. Make sure to get CP3 back into your lineup for Thursday's slate. Meanwhile, Elfrid Payton and Cameron Payne can return to life on the waiver wire.

There was some speculation from reporters that Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (thumb) could make his return to the court for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, that won't be the case. Paul has officially been ruled out for the game. CP3 has been on the shelf since mid-February due to a right thumb fracture. He's trending towards making a return far sooner than the initial six-to-eight weeks he was estimated to be out for, but it's still unclear when that return will be. Elfrid Payton will remain the team's starting point guard for now. Paul is certainly worth stashing if you are able to, but don't be surprised if he's unable to return any value before season's end.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (wrist) is expected to miss significant time due to injury. The veteran guard suffered a right thumb injury and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks of action. This is a significant blow to both the Suns and to fantasy managers as Paul is likely done for the fantasy playoffs. Cameron Payne (wrist) has been sidelined lately, but is expected to return shortly after the All-Star break. Payne should be added in most formats with Paul sidelined for possibly two months. Aaron Holiday should see more minutes as well, but Payne is the better option between the two. Devin Booker should see an increase in ball handling responsibilities with Paul out.

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (thumb) could be in danger of missing time due to an injury he suffered on Wednesday. Paul mentioned on Saturday that he could miss time due to this issue and has a cast on his right hand. It's uncertain if Paul is going to participate in the All-Star game on Sunday. The Suns don't have too much depth right now with Cameron Payne (wrist) also banged up. Elfrid Payton hasn't brought much to the table lately, so he's not the best addition in fantasy leagues. Instead, Aaron Holiday could be someone worth adding in fantasy formats, assuming Paul misses time.
