Injury Report: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George
It is always good to check the injury report before placing bets on any NBA games, or any sport for that matter. Denver has listed SG Gary Harris and SF Will Barton as out. The Nuggets also have reported SF Jerami Grant (knee) as questionable. Denver is a team that has relied on depth all season. Even so, it would be hard to overcome the favored Clippers with three role players out.
In the Clippers; most recent loss to the Brooklyn Nets, All-Star Kawhi Leonard scored a game-high 39 points while All-Star teammate Paul George watched from the bench. The night before in a close victory of the Trail Blazers, George led the team with 21 points while Kawhi rested.
There are three full days between their most recent game Sunday and the pivotal matchup with Denver. Both Leonard and George are expected to play for the Clippers. They both should be fully rested and ready to deliver big games.
A fun prop bet could be, Kawh Leonard (29.4 points/game since restart) and Paul George (25.2 points/game since restart) score 50+ points combined. Or, bet Kawhi scores 28 or more points.
