Kawhi Leonard uncertain for Clippers Wednesday in back-to-back
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard is uncertain for Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, per head coach Ty Lue.
What It Means:
Lue said Leonard and Paul George are both uncertain for the second leg of the Clippers' back-to-back. Leonard scored just 8 points (3-11 field goals, 0-3 3-pointers, 2-2 free throws) on Tuesday in a 118-102 victory over the Orlando Magic. Bones Hyland, Norman Powell, and Russell Westbrook will play larger roles on offense if Leonard is sidelined. There would also be more minutes for Kobe Brown and Amir Coffey.
numberFire's models project Kawhi ($8,200) for 34.3 minutes and 36.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Clippers' implied total is 110.0 and the game total is 226.0. Kawhi is third on the Clippers this season with a 26.1% usage rate.
