Fred VanVleet, PG/SG, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Price: $4,300

This is more of a speculative play more than anything. Kawhi Leonard missed last night's game with a hip injury. With him out, Fred VanVleet was inserted into the Raptors' starting lineup and handed out a career-high 14 assists.

If Kawhi were to miss tonight's game against the Golden State Warriors, VanVleet could once again stand to benefit. He has four starts this season, and in those games he has scored a minimum of 21.25 DraftKings points an is averaging 28.75.

We only have him modeled for 19.0 DraftKings points tonight, but that's assuming just 22.4 minutes of run and a Kawhi start. If Leonard is out, expect that minutes number to jump closer to 30 and, with it, his fantasy output.
