SF 1 - Kawhi Leonard (Toronto Raptors)

The Toronto Raptors have not been playing really well of late. Injury to their star guard, Kyle Lowry has hampered their season a bit. They are now in the second spot with a 29-12 record and just half a game behind the Milwaukee Bucks.

They have won only six of their last 10 games, including their latest win over the Bucks itself, 123-116. Kawhi Leonard has been the star of this team ever since he joined them from the San Antonio Spurs.
