Clippers' Kawhi Leonard carves up Cavaliers for season-high 43 points
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard scored 43 points (14-of-22 field goals, 9-of-10 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 6 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 28.7 minutes of a 128-103 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
The points set a new season-high. Leonard has been rolling the past three games without Paul George (hamstring), averaging 36.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.7 steals, and 3.3 3-pointers on 55.6 percent shooting. The Clippers will host the Orlando Magic on Thursday. They have a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, so Leonard is more than likely going to be held out of one of those.
Kawhi scored 60.6 FanDuel points on Tuesday, his third-highest output of the season. numberFire's models project him for 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.1 triples per game over the rest of the season.
