Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kawhi Leonard finished Monday’s win over the Warriors with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.

After starting slowly, the Clippers grabbed control of Monday’s game with a balanced offensive effort. Six players finished the game in double figures, with Leonard leading the way. Having entered the game averaging a career-best 27.9 points per game, he’s scored at least 20 in every game he’s played this season except for three. Leonard was highly efficient against the Warriors, and his final line only lacked a blocked shot. The Clippers play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Pacers on Wednesday.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George amassed 36 points (14-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, four steals and four three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Nuggets.

George put on a show during the fourth quarter, scoring ten straight and 15 of Utah’s final 18 points. It wasn’t enough to get the win, but Monday’s performance was more evidence of how much the point guard has improved in his third season. Due to Utah’s poor record, George may not get many votes for Most Improved Player. However, after two subpar seasons, the conversation about him has shifted dramatically.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić recorded 22 points (6-of-11 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in Monday’s win over the Jazz.

Fantasy managers hoping for an explosive performance from Jokić in his first game of Week 19 were left disappointed, even with the three-time MVP recording a solid line. Utah used smaller players to defend The Joker for most of the night, and that appeared to give him some trouble. Jokić did record another double-double, but fantasy managers were likely expecting more with the Jazz headed for the draft lottery.
Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray accounted for 45 points (13-of-19 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, two steals and eight three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Jazz.

While Murray was responsible for seven turnovers on Monday, the Nuggets’ guard was highly accurate when shooting the basketball. The 45 points were the most in a game for Murray since December 3, when he dropped a season-high 52 on the Pacers. He’s scored at least 40 points in four games this season, double his tally during the 2024-25 campaign. The Nuggets play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Lakers on Thursday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

Giannis Antetokounmpo accounted for 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Monday’s loss to the Celtics.

Having missed five weeks with a strained right calf, the second time this season that he’s suffered that injury, Antetokounmpo was under a minutes limit on Monday. He played 25 minutes against the Celtics, and the fact that the game was a blowout also factored into Giannis’ playing time. The Bucks were above .500 without their best player, but the team’s chemistry appeared off on Monday, an unsurprising development due to the lack of practice time. Antetokounmpo will look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Hawks.
Payton Pritchard

BOS Guard #11

Payton Pritchard tallied 25 points (10-of-23 FGs), four rebounds, nine assists and five three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Bucks.

With Jaylen Brown (illness) sidelined, the Celtics ran more of their offense through Pritchard when he was on the floor Monday night. After going scoreless on 0-of-4 shooting in Sunday’s win over the 76ers, he rebounded nicely in Milwaukee, getting up a team-high 23 shots. And the nine assists were the most in a game for Pritchard since December 20, when he recorded ten against the Raptors.
Hugo González

BOS Guard #28

Hugo González finished Monday’s win over the Bucks with 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist, three steals, two blocks and three three-pointers.

Starting in place of Jaylen Brown (illness), González had the best night of his rookie campaign in Milwaukee. Recording season-highs in points and rebounds, the 6-foot-6 wing finished with his second double-double. Shooting 3-of-8 from beyond the arc, González was also responsible for five defensive contributions. His value in redraft leagues depends on Brown’s availability, while dynasty league managers must continue to roster González.
Al Horford

GSW Center-Forward #20

Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, Draymond Green and Al Horford will start Monday’s game against the Clippers.

While Brook Lopez isn’t the force that he’s been in seasons past, the Warriors still needed to match up with him defensively. As a result, Horford is in the starting lineup, pushing Gui Santos to the bench. While Steve Kerr’s rotation can be unpredictable at times, Santos should still play plenty.
Reed Sheppard

HOU Guard #15

Reed Sheppard tallied 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, six steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Wizards.

While he didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, Sheppard did something that has rarely been done in the NBA this century. He became the fourth player since 2000 to record a line with at least 19 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, six steals and two blocked shots, joining Nikola Jokić, James Harden and Andrei Kirilenko. However, this performance may not be enough to keep Sheppard in the starting lineup, as head coach Ime Udoka said before Monday’s game that he may go back to his regular starting five once Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) returns. Smith is expected to be available for Thursday’s game against the Warriors.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün accounted for 32 points (12-of-20 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Monday’s win over the Wizards.

Like Kevin Durant, who scored 30 points, Şengün took full advantage of a Wizards’ rotation lacking size in Monday’s victory. He was responsible for eight turnovers, but many fantasy managers will be fine with Şengün’s 30-point double-double. The 32 points were three more than the center’s tally in Houston’s final two games of Week 18. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Rockets play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Warriors on Thursday.
