Leonard played 40 minutes for the second time this season and has been an excellent fantasy asset recently. Over the past two weeks, the Clippers star has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats. For most players, a three-game week would be bad news for fantasy managers. However, the Clippers' Week 21 slate should ensure Leonard managers of three games. The Clippers head east, beginning with the Knicks on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is one of three legs for Sunday's NBA SGP for Clippers vs. Thunder
The last five games for Leonard should scare the rest of the NBA. During that stretch, he has averaged 26.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 60.2 percent from the floor. That has allowed him to provide top ten value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch. The Clippers have three more back-to-backs this season, though two of them are in April and one is during the final week of the regular season. There is no reason for him to play back-to-backs this close to the playoffs, but when he is on the floor, he will continue to shine.
Leonard supplied 33 points (12-19 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 win over Cleveland.
Dunn is back after sitting out Sunday's win over the Hornets with a knee issue. His return means Derrick Jones Jr. will head to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. Jones is not a player who needs to be rostered in most leagues.
