Raptors' Fred VanVleet starting in place of Kawhi Leonard (hip) Tuesday night
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet is starting on Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Kawhi Leonard is out with a hip injury for the front end of the back-to-back set, so VanVleet will make the start. He's averaging 14.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2.0 3-pointers per game in three starts this season.
numberFire's models project VanVleet for 22.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,300 on Tuesday.
