According to Shelburne, teammate James Harden dealt with the same Grade 2 hamstring strain earlier in the season and missed three weeks, which illustrates the uphill battle Paul was facing in trying to gain clearance for Games 6 and 7. He should be at or near full strength by the end of the June before becoming an unrestricted free agent in July.","date":"Tue May 29"},"fullName":"Chris Paul","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Rockets' newest toy has had strong fantasy production for a decade, and it's difficult to imagine a Mike D'Antoni system putting an end to that. How exactly this offense functions will be interesting, but you shouldn't be worried about James Harden welcoming CP3 into this already explosive offense. Pencil Paul in for a double-double (it'd be the fourth time in five seasons he has averaged one) and move on. A change in scenery often results in uncertainty, but Paul should continue to be one of the safest players on the board. The production isn't as flashy as the elite first-round point guards, but the lack of downside is likely to land Paul on many a successful fantasy team in 2017-18.
