Fantasy Analysis
Paul emerged as a the No. 1 overall Fantasy point guard in a third-year breakout season and was by all accounts the MVP of Fantasy this season. He went late in the second round of most Fantasy leagues entering the season, but ended up being the second most productive player in Fantasy -- behind only LeBron James, the unquestioned No. 1 overall pick. In 2008-09, Paul will likely be selected among the first few picks in most leagues. (Updated 05/08/2008).
Paul had 22 points and 14 assists, overcoming shooting struggles to help lift the Hornets to a 101-79 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night and a 3-2 series lead. (Updated 05/14/2008)
Advice
Though he was 6-for-18 from the field, Paul delivered his seventh double-double of the postseason. He's clearly the catalyst for the New Orleans offense, but the Hornets have gone 3-1 in the playoffs in games in which Paul shoots below 45.0 percent.
