3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/15/17
Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs
FanDuel Price: $9,400
Kawhi Leonard has said that he expects his workload to increase with LaMarcus Aldridge sidelined, and with a 36.7% usage rate in the 475 minutes he has played with Aldridge off the floor this season (compared to a 30.7% usage rate with Aldridge on), it's pretty safe to assume he's not going to be wrong about that.
Before making an early exit with a head injury last Thursday, Leonard had been on an absolute tear, recording games of 51.2, 53.4, 66.5 and 58.7 fantasy points over his previous four contests. He returned from that injury with a 40-fantasy-point game on Monday, playing 38.8 minutes and showing no signs of being limited.
Leonard draws a strong matchup tonight as the San Antonio Spurs will be hosting the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland is on the second half of a road-road back-to-back and ranks among the bottom 10 in defensive rating over the past month.
