Kawhi Leonard returns with 19 points Saturday in Spurs' win
San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard returned from a three-game absence and scored 19 points on 5-for-8 shooting Saturday, to go with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 4 steals over 28 minutes against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Leonard was forced to sit out three games with a shoulder issue, but it appears he feels fine after an impressive game on Saturday night. The Spurs are now 5-2 in the last seven games that Leonard has played.
Our early models for Monday project Leonard for 32.6 FanDuel points against the Atlanta Hawks.
