The superstar forward has been a huge torn for the 76ers in the series, as he has been dominating on both ends of the floor. In the first half of Game 5, Leonard already scored 13 points, and has led his team to a big lead, which could be very crucial in the pivotal game, where the winner will take a 3-2 series lead.

In Game 4, Leonard gave the 76ers a nightmare, as he finished with 39 points and 14 rebounds on top of five assists. The 76ers were poised to take the lead late in the game, but Leonard knocked down a huge three-pointer with almost a minute left to play, which gave Toronto a four-point lead, and Philadelphia failed to recover.

In the series opener, the 27-year-old superstar also led the Raptors to a huge win, tallying 45 points and 11 rebounds to go along with two assists, two steals, and a block. In the first four games of the series, the former San Diego State standout has posted 38.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.
