Kawhi Leonard, SG/SF, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Price: $9,500

There are several reasons that Kawhi Leonard has had (and will continue to have) a solid season. Outside of all of the obvious reasons like his skill level, one of the most important factors is rest. With a player option he's almost certainly expected to opt out of next year, Kawhi is doing everything he can to make sure he's set to get a max contract.

If that means rest, then he's going to rest. How much the Toronto Raptors like that remains to be seen. The Raptors have won all five of the games he's played. In the other two, they had their only loss (last night to the Milwaukee Bucks), and had their closest victory (a four-point win over the Washington Wizards).

He's playing tonight, though, and he should be ready to dominate in what should be a very fast-paced game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The game's total of 227.5 is the highest on the slate. Kawhi has scored at least 42.5 DraftKings points in each of his past three against the Sixers, including two games of 47.5 or more.

We project him for 43.0 DraftKings points tonight, the highest projection for any shooting guard-eligible player and second highest among all small forward-eligible players.
