Clippers' Kawhi Leonard (knee) questionable for Game 2 Tuesday
The Los Angeles Clippers listed Kawhi Leonard (knee) as questionable for Game 2 of their playoff series with the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Leonard missed the Clippers first game of the playoffs after missing the final eight games of the regular season with a knee injury. His questionable designation gives him a shot to suit up against the Mavericks in Game 2. Los Angeles pulled off a win without Leonard in Game 1, but could certainly use his steady presence on the court going forward.
If he can play, our model would have Leonard going for 38.8 FanDuel points against Dallas off of 20.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $8,200.
