Outlook Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard at Bucks — Sidelined as Return-to-Play Progression Begins
Kawhi Leonard remains ruled out for Friday’s road tilt against the Bucks due to ongoing left knee swelling. Recent updates indicate he has completed his initial treatment and commenced the return-to-play process, but the Raptors expect him to remain sidelined for at least another week. Across two starts this season, the veteran forward produced 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers have responded to his absence, with his active start rate dropping to 15% despite universal 100% roster ownership.
With Leonard inactive, our daily models project him for zero fantasy points tonight in Milwaukee. Toronto wraps up its three-game week at Fiserv Forum, leaving Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett to shoulder the primary offensive load. Fantasy managers should keep Leonard firmly stashed on injured reserve while awaiting further medical updates.

Outlook Alexandre Sarr
Alexandre Sarr at Thunder — Frontcourt Value on Back-to-Back
Alexandre Sarr remains healthy and is penciled into the starting frontcourt tonight, with his role potentially expanding if Anthony Davis (questionable, ankle) is limited or sidelined. Sarr has provided steady defensive peripherals inside, averaging 11.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks over 25.5 minutes across his last six games while maintaining a stable 28% roster rate.
For tonight's matchup against the 7-2 Thunder, our models project Sarr for 27.8 fantasy points, backed by 12 points and seven rebounds in 24 minutes. Facing Oklahoma City on the road wraps up a busy four-game slate on the second night of a back-to-back, making him an appealing streamer if Washington's frontcourt is shorthanded.
