Chris Paul vs Timberwolves: $31

Other Options: Russell Westbrook, Terry Rozier, Darren Collison, Ricky Rubio, Jeff Teague

As much as i would love to lock and load Westbrook today, I like Lebron quite a bit more for just a little more salary. If you attempt to lock both of them in, you are only left with about 14 salary per player, so good luck with that. The player that interests me the most here is Paul. Harden will continue to have the spotlight on him, but Paul is a veteran with plenty of playoff experience. He will likely continue to be able to produce solid numbers as a majority of his minutes will be when Harden is off the floor. He has upside and great floor, so he is the first guy I am looking at in cash games. You may need to even look for a cheaper option to make everything work today, and that guy would be Collison. Collison loved the Cavs matchup during the regular season averaging 36 fantasy points in his four meetings with the squad. I am not sure you can play both Dipo and Collison today, but I would definitely be looking at utilizing one or the the other today in your cash game lineups.
