Leonard accumulated 21 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three steals, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 129-100 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard was extremely efficient as a scorer while pitching in across every category. After managing just 16 points across the first four games of 2019-20, Leonard has combined for 37 in the last two tilts. Still, Justise Winslow (back) missed both of these last two bouts and will travel with the team on the upcoming road trip, so it remains to be seen how effective Leonard will be once the squad is at full strength.

Leonard posted 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and two assists across 25 minutes during Thursday's 106-97 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard's fantasy value continues to be limited to deeper formats, but his performance Thursday, by far, was the best he's produced so far this season. If the 27-year-old power forward continues producing at this level, playing an every-night role with the Heat, he may start demanding attention in more traditional fantasy formats. The Heat have plenty of options in the frontcourt, so Leonard will have to fight for every minute.

Leonard posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard has earned an every-night role with the Heat, averaging 4.0 points and 5.5 rebounds across 20.5 minutes through four games. If that continues, he'll set a four-year high in minutes per game after spending the past three years in Portland. Leonard is only fantasy relevant in the deepest of leagues.

Leonard will get the start at power forward in Tuesday's exhibition tilt against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel
EDGE Analysis
Leonard will start alongside Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Kelly Olynyk (knee) or James Johnson (coach's decision) are the strongest candidates to start at power forward once the regular season commences.

Leonard was traded to the Heat on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard will be joined by Moe Harkless in Miami, while the Heat ship Hassan Whiteside up to Portland. Leonard could open the season as the backup behind Bam Adebayo, though it's unclear if Kelly Olynyk will remain in Miami, or if he'll be a part of the sign-and-trade involving Jimmy Butler.

Leonard registered 30 points (12-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 119-117 overtime loss to the Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard drew a second consecutive start, and head coach Terry Stotts' decision to keep him in the starting five proved to be an unequivocally prudent one. The veteran big man notched a career-high point total while pacing the Trail Blazers in both scoring and rebounds. Leonard's floor-spacing ability was on full display, as he also led Portland in three-point percentage. A career reserve, Leonard's two-game postseason surge may serve as the launching pad to additional opportunities in his 2019-20 contract year.

Leonard finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and three rebounds over 31 minutes in the Trail Blazers' loss to the Warriors on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard got his first playoff start of the season, and he made the most of his opportunity. The big man scored 16 points, thanks to a trio of triples, and he found ways to contribute on the glass and by facilitating teammates. Although the Blazers lost, Leonard looked to be more effective than Enes Kanter had been, and the former may have earned another start in Monday's win-or-go-home Game 4.

Leonard will start during Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
After not playing in Game 1, Leonard saw 17 minutes in Game 2, posting seven points, six boards and two assists in 17 minutes. In looking for a change of pace, coach Terry Stotts will opt to start Leonard over Enes Kanter.

Leonard delivered 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 42 minutes in the Trail Blazers' 136-131 win over the Kings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leonard was one of little-used Blazers reserves to emerge from mothballs and draw the start in the finale. The veteran big man did see more consistent run in the earlier portion of the season, and given that he's seen action in the postseason in four prior campaigns in his career, he's likely to be a part of the frontcourt rotation in the first-round series versus the Thunder.

Leonard will get the start for the season finale Wednesday against Sacramento, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
EDGE Analysis
