Raymond Felton & Austin Rivers both waiver targets with Paul injury

Raymond Felton will likely enter the starting lineup as the Clippers starting point guard now that Chris Paul is having surgery and will be out 6 to 8 weeks.

There is no replacing Chris Paul, but having Raymond Felton seems like the most logical choice since he has started previously when Paul has been out. During those 6 starts by Felton he has averaged 10.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 steals.

Felton is currently available in 89% of leagues and should be picked up in all formats due to the length of the injury suffered by Paul.

Also worth taking notice of is Austin Rivers who should also see a bigger uptick in minutes and is also worth picking up if he is available in your league. Rivers could easily see over 30 minutes a night, along with Felton.

Blake Griffin is also nearing return, so that could help the offense cope a little bit better without Paul.
