This is hardly a surprise. Paul entered the day as probable for a crucial contest vs. the Lakers, and he told reporters he’d be ready to go. He’s currently dealing with a shoulder contusion, but Paul got some shots up during a light practice on Monday. Paul was essentially on the same practice schedule before Game 4, and he put together his best performance of the series in that contest. He racked up 18 points, nine assists, three rebounds, and three steals, resulting in 44.1 FanDuel points. Paul even hit a patented midrange jumper that prompted him to yell “I’m back” while running down the court.
