Kawhi stays healthy
With Paul George out for a second straight game, Kawhi Leonards will have to take matters into his own hands. James Harden arrived in Los Angeles earlier this season and Russell Westbrook is an important part of this team, but there is no bigger Clippers star than Kawhi. He was considered his best and strongest this year. After struggling with injuries for most of the past few years, he has been on the field for all but five games this season. In 51 games, he averages 23.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists, and is one of the Clippers who benefit the most from James Harden’s presence on the court.
