3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 12/3/18

Kawhi Leonard, SF, Toronto Raptors

Price: $10,400

Kyle Lowry is questionable for Monday night after missing Saturday's game with a back injury. If he can't go, Kawhi Leonard's fantasy value will once again get a big boost.

Playing in his first game sans Lowry this season, Kawhi racked up 55.8 FanDuel points on Saturday, posting his third-highest usage rate of the season (33.5%; also his highest since October 24th).

Leonard has seen a slight bump in fantasy efficiency with Lowry off the floor (1.34 FanDuel points per minute) compared to when Lowry is on (1.31), and with Lowry's usage rate sitting at 19.7% this season, his absence opens up plenty of offensive volume.

A matchup with the Denver Nuggets may limit Leonard's upside some as they rank third in defensive rating while playing at a bottom-five pace, but with usage likely in the low-to-mid-30% range, Leonard offers a very solid floor if Lowry sits.
