Eric Bledsoe once again drew fill-in duty for Chris Paul.
After a bad game Monday (4 points on 1-for-7 shooting), CP3 missed Tuesday night's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with his nagging kneecap injury.
Bledsoe started but struggled with his shot, hitting just 5-of-16 shots for 12 points. The third-year guard out of Kentucky added two rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks in 35 minutes.
Bledsoe is worth a stash if you have the roster space, and should be in all lineups when Paul sits.

Tyus Jones… Where to start? To be frank, Jones is one of my favorite prospects that I have ever evaluated. I’m not saying he is the most talented but, he is definitely one of the more enjoyable players I have ever watched. I say this because I have special admiration for floor generals and he is the epitome of that term. Follow the link to learn more about Jones’ skill set...

Eric Bledsoe will draw another start if CP3 sits, and the Kentucky product is averaging 11.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31 minutes. Although he’s shooting just 38.6 percent in that role, Bledsoe’s versatility lends itself well to fantasy owners looking for a spark. He’s a must-start player while CP3 is on the shelf.
