Kawhi Leonard, SF, Toronto Raptors

Price: $10,000

The only player with a five-digit price-tag tonight, Kawhi Leonard is worth it.

His 44.1 FanDuel points per game this year are the most for anyone on the slate, and he's coming off a season-high 62-FanDuel-point outing in his last game. His fantasy floor is a bit underwhelming, with fewer than 40 FanDuel points in 4 of his 12 games this season, though he has fallen below 35 only once, so it's rare that you'll get a true dud out of Kawhi.

Tonight he draws a solid matchup against Orlando.

The Magic rank only 19th in defensive rating this season, and they have allowed their opponents to post a top-10 mark effective field goal percentage. They also sit 23rd in rebound rate, and with Leonard averaging 24.8 points and 8.4 boards per game, this matchup suits him well.

Our models also project Leonard for Thursday's top fantasy score -- with a gap of 4.1 points between Leonard's 46.1 and the next-best projection of 42.0.
