Clippers vs. Suns Thursday NBA injury report, odds, props: Bettors backing Phoenix on spread, Kawhi Leonard to go Over 24.5 points

There are just three NBA games Thursday night ahead of the All-Star break, and the matchup taking the most action of the trio is the 10 p.m. ET tip from Phoenix as the Suns host the Los Angeles Clippers. If the Western Conference playoffs started today, the two teams would meet in the first round. The Suns are -1 at Caesars Sportsbook and taking strong action. The most-wagered player prop of the entire night is on Clippers star Kawhi Leonard. Note that SportsLine as of today offers NBA prop picks.

As of this writing, the Suns are getting 76% of the tickets and 55% of the money. They are 2-0 vs. the Clippers this season, winning both by very similar scores: 112-95 on Oct. 23 and 111-95 on Dec. 15. Both clubs look quite a bit different now following the trade deadline and other moves.

In the three games Devin Booker has played since returning from injury, the Suns are 3-0 and averaging 117.6 points per game even though Booker hasn't topped 29 minutes yet. He's averaging 24.0 points per game in that stretch and is set at over/under 24.5 for Thursday. Booker can make team history, he has 1,050 career 3-pointers and needs only two more to pass Hall of Famer Steve Nash for the most in Suns annals.

Leonard is playing his best basketball of the season for the Clippers, averaging 27.4 points on 50.3% shooting in his past 10 games. He comes off a 33-point effort Tuesday in a win over Golden State, tying his career high with seven made 3-pointers. Leonard is set at over/under 24.5 points tonight as well, and the Over is taking huge action.

The second most-wagered player prop of the night is also on a Clipper: Ivica Zubac NO for a double-double at -264. He has 20 on the season. This writer picked over 0.5 assists on Zubac tonight at -160. He averages 1.1 per game and had three on Tuesday vs. the Warriors.
