Spurs' Chris Paul: Logs four steals against Toronto
Rotowire
Paul closed Sunday's 125-118 win over Toronto with 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in 34 minutes.
Paul did a little bit of everything Sunday and showed off his defensive IQ with a game-high four steals, which was the fifth time he's logged that many swipes in a game this season. By playing Sunday, Paul joined Michael Jordan and John Stockton as the second-oldest players to appear in all 82 games of a regular season. Paul enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, though it's unclear whether he'll return for a 21st NBA season.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Minimal impact in loss
Rotowire
Paul accumulated nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 loss to the Clippers.
Paul is likely evaluating his options as the lost season comes to a close. While the Spurs should trend back up next season upon Victor Wembanyama's return, Paul's numbers have been mediocre, and he isn't getting any younger. He's averaged 7.5 assists per game this season and is one of the all-time great dime-droppers, but he may not have much gas left in the tank.
Paul notched 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 win over the Nuggets.
It was a solid all-around output by Paul, who put up a full stat line and fell one dime short of the team lead. The veteran floor general isn't the most exciting fantasy option at this stage of his career, but he remains a solid source of assists, steals and threes in category-based formats. Over his last nine games, Paul has averaged 9.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Struggles continue Thursday
Rotowire
Paul had five points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Cavaliers.
Paul struggled from the field once again, and over his last three outings, he has shot only 22.2 percent from the floor. While the 39-year-old has failed to score double-digit points in three consecutive games, he has tallied multiple swipes in each of them. Despite his recent struggles, Paul has been fairly solid in March, averaging 7.5 points and 6.3 assists across 24.7 minutes per game while shooting 49.4 percent from the field.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Hands out nine assists
Rotowire
Paul chipped in 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Knicks.
Stephon Castle and Sandro Mamukelashvili led the Spurs to victory Wednesday, but Paul still made his presence felt as a reliable playmaker and finished just one assist away from recording a double-double. Even though he's no longer the go-to option on offense as he was during his prime years, Paul has done a good job of playing alongside Castle in the backcourt. The veteran floor general is averaging 7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 0.8 steals per game across 11 starts since the beginning of March.
Paul provided nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 22 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers.
Paul wasn't too far away from recording the 19th triple-double of his career. With De'Aaron Fox (finger) out for the season, Paul and Stephon Castle are likely to see the bulk of the backcourt minutes in the short term, although Paul could be dialed back in favor a youth movement towards the very end of the season.
Paul chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 133-129 loss to the Mavericks.
Paul led the club in assists during the loss, dishing out six or more dimes for a sixth consecutive contest. The veteran playmaker struggled from three-point range Monday, though he has still shot an efficient 44.4 percent from beyond the arc in 11 outings since the All-Star break. However, Paul has been fairly quiet on the offensive end in that 11-game span, scoring in single digits during eight of those 11 outings.
Paul accumulated six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 146-132 loss to the Thunder.
Stephon Castle has been on a tear off the bench for San Antonio, resulting in fewer minutes and usage for Paul. Over the last three games, the veteran point guard has played just 23.5 minutes per contest to go with averages of 6.0 points, 6.0 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
