Kawhi Leonard, SF/PF, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Price: $9,700

The Toronto Raptors could once again be without the services of Kyle Lowry tonight. Lowry missed Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a back injury and is questionable against the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

Teammate Kawhi Leonard certainly doesn't need any extra motivation to play well -- his 25.5 points and 8.6 boards per game are career highs -- but we'll take any boost we can in fantasy. Leonard's usage rate has been a very solid 29.7% this season. It jumped to 33.5% on Saturday with Lowry on the sidelines. Yes, this is obviously only a one-game sample, but it's hard to see the Raptors not putting more attention on their new superstar if Lowry were to sit again.

Kawhi has put up at least 53 DrafKings points in three of his past four games. And while we don't quite have him at that level tonight, our projected 46.3 DraftKings points make him the eighth-highest projected fantasy scorer of the evening.
