Paul isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Kings, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Stephen Curry will replace Paul in the starting five Tuesday after missing Golden State's previous contest with an ankle injury. Paul is averaging 8.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Playing, starting Sunday
Rotowire
Paul (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's regular-season finale versus Utah and slated to start at point guard.
Paul's hamstring tightness is seemingly not an issue following pregame warmups, so he will give it a go. The veteran point guard could see a heavier workload than usual due to Stephen Curry (ankle) being sidelined.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Paul will start Thursday's game against Portland, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Klay Thompson is sitting out with a right knee issue, but it's likely a precaution for the front end of this back-to-back set. In 16 starts this season, Paul has averaged 12.6 points, 7.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Fills in at point guard
Rotowire
Paul notched 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, nine assists, one block and four steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 win over the Jazz.
Paul came one assist shy of a double-double as he took over point guard duties amid Stephen Curry's (rest) absence. Paul has started only 16 games for the Warriors this season, and while his numbers have taken a hit in every category as a reserve, Paul's playoff record is outstanding. Over 149 playoff appearances, Paul has averaged 20.0 points, 8.3 assists and 4.9 rebounds.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Logs well-rounded effort off bench
Rotowire
Paul ended Friday's 108-106 loss to the Mavericks with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes.
Paul didn't reach double digits in any individual category, but he nonetheless posted a strong all-around performance that included leading Golden State in assists (eight) and steals (four). The veteran point guard saw more than his usual allotment of court time -- he had logged less than 30 minutes in each of the previous 16 games in which he came off the bench. Being locked into a reserve role has dramatically dented Paul's fantasy value, as he's on track to average less than double-digit points for the first time in his career, while his current average of 6.8 assists per game would be the second-lowest mark across his 19 NBA seasons.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Nears double-double in start
Rotowire
Paul closed Friday's 115-97 victory over Charlotte with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and nine assists in 33 minutes.
Paul was a late addition to the starting lineup Friday after Klay Thompson was scratched due to a knee issue. Paul took a back seat in scoring to dish out a game-high nine assists, which was the 16th time he's reached that mark this season. The severity of Thompson's knee injury is unclear, but Paul would figure to see more minutes and starts should the former be sidelined for an extended period of time.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Late addition to starting lineup
Rotowire
Paul is starting Friday's game against the Hornets, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Paul came off the bench in his last seven appearances but will draw the start Friday after Klay Thompson (knee) was a late scratch. Over 14 starts this year, Paul has averaged 12.7 points, 7.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 30.7 minutes per game.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Fails to score Tuesday
Rotowire
Paul supplied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 win over the Heat.
Paul continues to struggle, posting zero points in 23 minutes. Despite still playing meaningful minutes off the bench, it is obvious that Paul has lost a step on both ends of the floor. At this point, managers should view him as nothing more than a streaming option for assists and steals.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Double-double off bench
Rotowire
Paul totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and 14 assists across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 137-116 win over Memphis.
The double-double was Paul's fifth of the season, while the 14 assists were a season high. The veteran point guard hadn't dropped double-digit dimes since returning from a hand injury in late February, and over 12 games since rejoining the lineup he's averaging 10.7 points, 6.8 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.6 threes and 1.5 steals.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Sniffs triple-double in win
Rotowire
Paul amassed 19 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-102 win over the Spurs.
Paul was impressive on both ends of the court and delivered a vintage performance, ending just one rebound and two assists shy of recording a triple-double. Paul will experience an uptick in terms of fantasy value as long as Stephen Curry (ankle) remains sidelined. If that's the case Wednesday against Dallas, Paul would be in line for yet another start and 30-ish minutes of action.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
Paul finished with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 126-113 loss to San Antonio.
Paul moved into the starting lineup, covering for the injured Stephen Curry (ankle). While it wasn't the most electrifying performance, Paul did exactly what managers needed him to do, racking up nine assists and three steals. Curry is slated to miss at least another game or two, meaning Paul should see a short-term bump.

Rotowire
Paul will start at point guard for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
No surprise here, as Stephen Curry (ankle) will miss at least the next two games for Golden State. Coach Steve Kerr said he will lean on certain actions that Paul likes to run, so that's a plus for his fantasy managers.

Warriors' Chris Paul: Strong performance off bench
Rotowire
Paul registered 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 24 minutes during Thursday's 125-122 loss to the Bulls.
Paul was efficient from the field and scored his most points since Dec. 30, though he missed nearly two months due to a hand injury between those performances. While the veteran will handle a reserve role when the Warriors are fully healthy, Paul is a candidate to move back into the starting lineup if Stephen Curry (ankle) is forced to miss extended time after leaving Thursday's loss late in the fourth quarter. As a starter this season (11 games), Paul has averaged 12.7 points, 7.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 30.6 minutes per game.
