NBA Odds: Kawhi Leonard’s The Clipper’s Rescuer?
NBA Odds and News
Kawhi Leonard’s is almost back to help his team, the ClippersÂ
When the Los Angeles Clippers announced at the start of the 2024-25 season that Kawhi Leonard would be “out indefinitely,” many expected the team to fall to the bottom of the Western Conference standings. However, instead of that, players like Norman Powell (averaging 23.5 points per game) and James Harden (22.5 points, 8.3 assists) have kept the Clippers afloat, leading the team to a 15-12 record through the first 27 games of the season.
Now, with Leonard’s return on the horizon, the Clippers appear ready to contend for one of the top four spots in the West. The NBA Odds are shifting as “The Klaw” nears his return, and bettors should not miss out on the incredible opportunities this presents.
Kawhi Leonard could make his highly anticipated debut on December 27
On Wednesday, Leonard participated in five-on-five scrimmages and will travel with the team for their upcoming three-game road trip in Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies. While he won’t play in these games (Thursday, Saturday, and Monday), his presence on the road trip strongly indicates his imminent return. This will be the first time Leonard travels with the Clippers this season, as he had only been seen on the bench during home games.
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue noted that, despite Leonard’s progress, there are no plans to rush his return. While Clippers fans have every reason to be excited, they should also be cautious, given Leonard’s injury history. Last season, he played 68 games—his most since the 2016-17 season—before suffering knee inflammation that kept him out for the final stretch of the regular season and most of the playoffs.
What does this mean for betting?
With Leonard’s return on the horizon, NBA Odds are rapidly shifting. If all goes well, he could make his season debut next Friday, December 27, when the Clippers host the Golden State Warriors. Bettors should keep an eye on these changes, as the return of a star like Leonard could turn the Clippers into serious contenders for the top spots in the West.
