Fantasy Impact
This performance marked Leonard's eighth consecutive game with at least 20 points. Although his contributions in other categories were modest in this contest, he continues to be a reliable and efficient primary scoring option for Los Angeles.
Kawhi Leonard scored 24 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go with nine rebounds, five steals, and four assists in Thursday's loss to the Rockets.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard has been putting up the stats, but his shooting has been inconsistent at best lately. The 34-year-old veteran has averaged 22.3 points 6.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals over his last four games, but he has shot just 41.0% from the field overall and 26.7% from long range in that span.
Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also dishing out two assists and grabbing three rebounds in the Clippers' 109-106 loss to the Timberwolves Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing three or more rebounds, and scoring 20 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward continues to offer fantasy managers a difference-making option when healthy as part of an inconsistent Los Angeles lineup, averaging 25.4 points, 3.0 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game while posting a usage rate of 30.1% so far this season.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers offense in Friday's loss to the Grizzlies, finishing with 24 points (10-23 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block. While he struggled to find his rhythm from the perimeter, hitting just 2-of-9 three-pointers, he remained active in other areas.
Fantasy Impact
The most encouraging takeaway for fantasy managers is the workload. Leonard logged 35 minutes for the second straight game, signaling that he is likely off his minutes restriction. Although his fourth-quarter shooting woes contributed to the loss, the uptick in playing time raises his ceiling significantly for future matchups.
Kawhi Leonard managed to post a plus-8 rating in 30 minutes during Monday's 140-123 loss to the Heat, a notable feat given the 17-point margin of defeat. He led Los Angeles with 36 points on 12-of-21 shooting, supplementing his scoring with seven rebounds, three steals, two assists, and three three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
Much of Leonard's production arrived in the fourth quarter, where he scored 19 points after the outcome was largely decided. Despite the team's ongoing struggles and active losing streak, the veteran forward continues to deliver high-end fantasy numbers. He will look to get the Clippers back in the win column on Wednesday against Atlanta.
