Paul provided five points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds, and one steal in 35 minutes during the Clippers’ 98-91 win over the Mavericks on Sunday.

Paul didn’t commit any turnovers, but this was just the third time all season that he failed to score in double figures. Mavericks’ coach Rick Carlisle opted to send DeAndre Jordan to the free-throw line for much of the game, which played its part in slowing down the Clippers’ offense. Paul and company are locked into fourth place out West, so it’s possible several starters could receive time off during the upcoming back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday to end the regular season. Due to the circumstances, it might be wise to check on Paul’s status before inserting him into fantasy lineups.
