3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 11/12/18

Kawhi Leonard, SF, Toronto Raptors

Price: $9,400

With Toronto sitting as 8.5-point favorites in that high over/under game against the Pels, their 119.0-point implied total is also the slate's highest by a full 7 points.

New Orleans will have Toronto playing up in pace today (ranking 4th in that category), while they also sit a lowly 25th in defensive rating. They have allowed the league's most points per game, as well as the fifth-most assists and fourth-most steals.

For Kawhi Leonard, who has seen just shy of 80% of his fantasy scoring come from those three stats this year, those numbers are very promising.

Kawhi is coming off his worst fantasy performance of the season, but he has only one game with fewer than 36 FanDuel points, and has still topped 50 three times in his last six outings. He's dominating the usage in Toronto -- a 29.7% usage rate with nobody else at or above the 25% mark with Kawhi on the floor -- and he should be a big part of their projected high-scoring night against New Orleans.
