Kawhi Leonard (rest) also out versus Pacers, will return Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings or Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
That means four straight absences due to "load management" for Leonard. He will return for Friday's road date against the Houston Rockets. Fred VanVleet will likely draw another start and Norman Powell, while C.J. Miles should see more minutes off the bench.
Kawhi is averaging 47.2 FanDuel points through 36 games this season. numberFire's models expect him to record 29.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.2 triples per contest over the remainder of the year.
