As expected, no Kawhi Leonard in OKC today. JaMychal Green remains questionable. pic.twitter.com/fzB3hfScz3

This is customary for Leonard, who hasn’t played a full back-to-back set all season. He’ll rest tonight with a knee injury, basically load management for the All-Star. Also on the injury report is forward JaMychal Green (tailbone), who is questionable to play.
Fantasy Basketball Analysis: Los Angeles Clippers SG/SF Kawhi Leonard
As is tradition, with Leonard sidelined we should see Paul George be a prime target in DFS on DraftKings. He’s relatively affordable at $8,500 and we’ve got a revenge narrative with PG-13 facing his former team, the Thunder. I think PG is a great all-around play, but more of a cash-game play given his ownership should be high. I think the appealing GPP plays are Montrezl Harrell ($6,600) and Lou Williams ($6,500). Both are cheaper than George and have decent ceilings with increased usage sans Leonard.
