Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse thinks superstar small forward Kawhi Leonard is fresher for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Leonard has been dealing with an apparent left leg injury over the past two games. The Raptors won Games 3 and 4 up in Toronto to even up the series at 2-2.

Leonard is averaging 29.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the series against Milwaukee. He's shooting 45.1 percent from the field, 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 92.7 percent from the free-throw line.

The Raptors star hasn't looked explosive, though, over the last two games. He's still playing really well, but the Raptors are hoping Leonard will have more lift in his jump shot in Game 5.

For Toronto to win this series, they pretty much need Leonard to play like an MVP every single minute he's on there on the floor. Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka have been too inconsistent in the postseason. The Raptors have no chance to win the series if Leonard doesn't continue to play at a high level.

The Raptors lost Game 1 in Milwaukee by eight points and Game 2 by 22. They have some momentum right now after winning Games 3 and 4 at home.

We'll see how Toronto adjusts to being back on the road.
