3 NBA FanDuel Studs for 10/25/16

Kawhi Leonard, SF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $7,900

Despite the San Antonio Spurs playing at the league's seventh-slowest pace last season, Kawhi Leonard had little trouble stuffing the stat sheet. His 21.2 points and 2.6 assists per game were both career highs, and those came with a 25.8% usage rate, also the best of his young career. His rebound (6.8) and steal (1.8) numbers were down slightly, but they were still solid. He also averaged 1.0 blocks per game for the first time in his career.

The Golden State Warriors played with the league's second-fastest pace last season, which means this game will likely have a few more possessions (read: opportunities to rack up fantasy points) than Leonard typically sees.

The Warriors are a solid defensive team -- they ranked 5th in defensive rating last season -- but they allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards. They also struggled on the glass, ranking in the bottom half of the league in both offensive and defensive rebound rate.

Leonard's versatility keeps his fantasy value high even against a solid defensive team, and the boost in pace helps give him a ton of upside.
