Kawhi Leonard ruled out for Raptors versus Hawks Thursday due to sore knee
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (sore left knee) will not play Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks.
The injury may help explain why Leonard shot a season-worst 27.3 percent from the field on Tuesday. Consider him questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Look for Fred VanVleet to start, and Norman Powell and OG Anunoby to see upticks from Leonard's absence. Toronto will only have nine available players on Thursday.
Kawhi is averaging 46.4 FanDuel points through 41 games. numberFire's models expect him to record 30.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 2.2 triples per game over the remainder of the year.
