Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $9,200

The Los Angeles Lakers, with nothing left to play for this season, have become one of the best teams to target players against in all of fantasy. Over the past month, they rank dead last in defensive rating (115.0) while also playing at the league's fifth-highest pace (101.2). They also rank 28th against small forwards from a fantasy standpoint this season.

Kawhi Leonard has posted some solid fantasy numbers lately, with at least 45 FanDuel points in four of his last six games, and he's also topped 38 minutes of action in those four. In what is probably the best matchup possible right now, that makes him a pretty good bet to crush value tonight.

It is worth noting that in a favorable matchup on the second half of a back-to-back -- especially after going to overtime last night -- the San Antonio Spurs may rest players tonight. So, keep an eye on news later in the day to make sure Leonard is playing before locking him into your lineup.
