Best Kawhi Leonard Pick vs. Nuggets 

Clippers SF Kawhi Leonard — 31.5 Pts+Rebs

Over the last couple of months, we have seen a vintage version of Kawhi Leonard. This looks like the same Leonard who is a two-time Finals MVP and averaged 30.5 points per game to help Toronto win its first championship.

Injuries had derailed his playoff runs with the Clippers, and before this season, he missed 12 of 16 playoff games. This shows that when he is healthy, he is still one of the best in the game. In Game 2, Leonard had one of the best playoff performances in recent history by dropping 39, his highest mark in the playoffs since 2021. He’s shooting over 70% so far in the Playoffs in 40 minutes per game — an incredible mark.

We could see Leonard have another excellent performance because of how talented this lineup is. If you try to shut down Leonard, you still have to concentrate on Norman Powell, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac, who each scored double-digit points in Game 2. 

With how balanced this lineup is, it takes pressure off Leonard to find scoring opportunities. 

Leonard’s 19 shot attempts in Game 2 were right on his average over the last 11 games. He has gone over this points and rebounds total in ten of his last 14 games.
