Is Kawhi Leonard Playing Tonight vs Warriors? Clippers’ 2x Finals MVP’s Availability Report

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers have finally found their footing with a point guard. Their #0, Russell Westbrook, makes the 2nd best team on offense when he is on the floor. They become the second-worst offensive team with him sitting out.

And most of the Clips’ 4th quarters are with Brodie on the bench. So, Ty Lue has found a way to make his offense and defense work at separate times in a game. That has won them 3 straight games after 5 straight losses.

As they now have a Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson problem ahead of them, will ‘The Klaw’, who is in his career-best form right now, play against the Warriors tonight?
