Chris Paul Scuffles From Field Amidst 14-Assist Outing
3 years agoPhoenix 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.
