SF 1 - Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder):

The Thunder, as discussed in the first slide, usually play really bad without Russell Westbrook. But the addition of Dennis Schroder as the point guard running the second unit and when Westbrook is injured has really helped them a lot as they only lost only one in the six games that Westbrook missed with an ankle injury.

That was largely due to the great job done by Schroder at the point guard position and also with Paul George stepping up this season in his absence. George has been having an All-Star level season, playing all 21 games.

George has been averaging an awesome 23.5 points per game this season, taking almost 20 shots per game and at 42 percent shooting. He has also been averaging 7.7 rebounds per game and 4 assists too.

George is an elite defender and his steals number justify that as he is at 2.2 steals per game. His numbers might look to come down now that Russell is back and fully fit, raring to go but that does not mean he is not a useful player for DFS. He is still getting at least 20 points per game to go with at least 5 rebounds and assists to go with 2 steals. He is an amazing pick for your DFS team tomorrow.
