Chris Paul Out For Game 2 Of Conference Finals
3 years agoPhoenix Suns guard Chris Paul remains out for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Despite being vaccinated, the veteran recently tested positive for COVID-19. While Paul is currently showing no symptoms, he will need to clear health and safety protocols before returning to the floor for Game 3. Until then, Cameron Payne should continue to start in his place, with the 26-year-old recording 11 points and nine assists throughout 29 minutes during the Game 1 win. Cameron Johnson, who had 12 points across 24 minutes of work in that one, should also be on the DFS radar as a value option. However, if Payne remains out of foul trouble in Game 2, Johnson's fantasy outlook isn't as bright.
