Kawhi Leonard guides Clippers to narrow win Tuesday

Leonard ($11,400 single-game show-down; 64.25 DKFP) scored 36 points as the Clippers survived a late Mavericks surge to win, 110-107. The Clippers built up multiple double-digit leads throughout the second half, but each time the Mavericks clawed their way back. Leonard added 11 rebounds, three steals, two assists and two rebounds. It was Leonard’s sixth straight game scoring at least 30 points. On the other side, Luka Doncic ($13,200; 67 DKFP) also put up a 36-point double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds in addition to nine assists and two blocks.

Patrick Beverley • PG • LAC

Patrick Beverley (groin) exits early Tuesday

Beverley ($6,600 single-game showdown; 20.5 DKFP) left the game in the third quarter and will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks. Beverley scored nine points and added four rebounds and four rebounds before the injury, and left the game with the Clippers holding a narrow lead. Beverley averages 28.7 minutes per game, and only put in 15 before his exit. Rodney McGruder ($1,400) came in to replace Beverley and is likely to be the primary beneficiary of his absence.

Pat Beverley has a sore right groin and will not return, per the Clippers.
