While there's no denying the excellence of LA Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, his injury history tends to negatively affect how his fantasy value is perceived at draft time. Both players currently sit in the top five of the updated Rotoworld Top 200 fantasy rankings, thanks in part to elite performances over the last week. Jokić put on a show in the Nuggets' overtime victory over Minnesota on Christmas Night, tallying 56 points (15-of-21 FGs, 22-of-23 FTs), 16 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocked shots and four three-pointers.
