Overall in the 2019 playoffs, Leonard has been nothing short of spectacular for the Raptors, who have to win one game at Oracle Arena to reclaim home court advantage in the series. Leonard is averaging 30.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field, 38.1 percent from beyond the arc and 88.3 percent from the free-throw line in the playoffs.
After only playing in nine games last season with the San Antonio Spurs, everyone was curious to see what version of Leonard we were going to see this season with the Raptors. The two-time Defensive Player of the Year showed right at the beginning of the regular season he's still one of the top basketball players in the world.
As all superstars do, Leonard has taken his game to the next level in the playoffs. It's been really fun to watch him dominate after everything he went through in 2017-18.
