Warriors' Chris Paul: Racks up 11 dimes in OT loss
Rotowire
Paul posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 11 assists, four rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes against the Thunder in an overtime loss Saturday.
Paul got a second straight start and performed well, recording his second double-double of the season. All of his scoring came from beyond the arc, and he's now gone 8-for-13 on three-point attempts and 0-for-4 on shots inside the arc over his past two games. Paul's overall scoring is down this season at 9.4 points per contest, but he's still pretty productive as a distributor and defender with 7.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
Warriors' Chris Paul: Tallies 15-point outing in loss
Rotowire
Paul racked up 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 104-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
Paul moved back into the starting five for the first time since Oct. 27 while Stephen Curry (knee) missed his first game of the season. Even though the Warriors also lost Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to ejections less than two minutes into the contest, Paul took on a modest 21.6 percent usage rate, trailing Andrew Wiggins (28.7), Dario Saric (25.4) and Brandin Podziemski (23.4). Paul still delivered a useful all-around line in the narrow loss, but given the context of the game, managers were probably hoping for stronger totals in the points and assists columns.
Paul will start Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Stephen Curry is sitting out with a knee sprain, but it's believed to be very minor. Paul has been very quiet in recent games, but Curry's absence will allow him to take on a much larger role in the offense.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Non-factor in loss
Rotowire
Paul recorded two points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
Curry was hot during the game, which curbed Paul's involvement. The Warriors' bench is underperforming, and they need to find a way to get Paul more minutes. The veteran is currently a borderline fantasy option due to his low usage.
Warriors' Chris Paul: Sniffs double-double in loss
Rotowire
Paul closed Saturday's 118-110 loss to the Cavaliers with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 26 minutes.
Paul came perilously close to a double-double during Saturday's loss, and he is proving his value to the Warriors despite adjusting to a secondary role. Paul is one injury away from returning to prominence as an elite point guard, but he'll be stuck behind Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for the foreseeable future.
Warriors' Chris Paul: Held in check against Cleveland
Rotowire
Paul racked up five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 115-104 loss to the Cavaliers.
Paul's inefficiency from the floor has been a concern in recent matchups, but he's usually been able to prop up his fantasy value through his assists. However, he was held to a season-low two assists while shooting inefficiently from the floor once again Sunday, leading to one of his worst performances in a Warriors uniform. Over his last four outings, he's shot just 14.3 percent from the floor while averaging 2.7 points, 7.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Orchestrates offense
Rotowire
Paul ended with one point (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 141-139 victory over Oklahoma City.
Despite scoring just one point, Paul had a huge impact on Golden State's offense, helping the team score 141 points in a victory. The veteran point guard has tallied 21 assists and just three points over his last two outings. Paul's elite playmaking has allowed Stephen Curry to enjoy a more off-ball role.
