Our View: Chandler is averaging just 6.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game this season, and it's clear that he is not the same player without Chris Paul feeding him the ball. He's a borderline own in even deep formats. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/650936 650936 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:14:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/650936 Hornets: Paul out indefinitely News: Further tests on Chris Paul's ankle show nothing beyond a sprain, but there is no timetable for the star point guard's return to the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets are reportedly in discussions with the Kings to send Emeka Okafor to Sacramento in exchange for reserve forward Kenny Thomas, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Our View: Not what you wanted to hear if you are a Hornets fan, but times are bleak in New Orleans. They have an enormous payroll and a desire to shed much of it. If Okafor is traded, could Chris Paul be far behind? http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/640673 640673 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:28:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/640673 No word yet on Paul's status News: New Orleans coach-general manager Jeff Bower says the Hornets have no update on point guard Chris Paul's left ankle injury.

Paul is now expected to be on crutches for two weeks, and he isn't expected to return for three-to-four weeks.

Our View: The original diagnosis was one-to-two weeks, but the injury was found to be worse than expected. This is terrible news for fantasy owners, who will be without their first pick for close to a month. Don't be shocked if Paul comes back closer to three weeks, as he is a tough guy who loves to play the game. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/639664 639664 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:35:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Chris_Paul/639664
