Kawhi Leonard scores 36 in front end of Clippers' back-to-back
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard scored 36 points (12-of-29 field goals, 11-of-12 free throws) with 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks, 1 3-pointer, and 1 turnover in 36.2 minutes of a 110-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
Leonard tied Luka Doncic for most points in the contest while scoring 30-plus for a sixth straight game. In that span, Leonard is averaging 36.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.7 3-pointers on a 53.0 field goal percentage. This was the front end of a back-to-back, so Leonard is likely going to be held out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Kawhi is averaging 48.0 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 28.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 2.4 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
