In each of his previous three seasons, he shot north of 41.0% from deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s a couple of ticks below that now, but the increased volume is a worthwhile trade-off for this bet. And we&#8217;re catching Kawhi during a particularly scoring stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming off a season-high seven made 3s, here&#8217;s what Leonard has accomplished since Dec. 20:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>44.0 3PT%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3.9 makes\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>8.9 attempts\/game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors are typically pretty tough on opposing 3-point shooters, but Kawhi has shot 43.8% from deep in his past five games against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with how hot he&#8217;s been lately, Leonard should be firing at will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Over his past 13 games, Leonard is 10-3 vs. this prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:122819\">Embed: #122819<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raptors prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Murray-Boyles over 2.5 assists (+105):<\/strong> Immanuel Quickley (back) is at risk of missing a second consecutive game tonight, which would open the door for some other Raptors to create plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Murray-Boyles, the 20-year-old lottery pick out of South Carolina who cracked the starting lineup on Jan. 3 and hasn&#8217;t looked back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a power forward, he isn&#8217;t tasked with racking up assists.
