Leonard is officially listed as questionable with right knee inflammation for Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night.

The Clippers were as high as 2.5-point underdogs against the Mavs and were 1.5-point underdogs as of Tuesday morning.

Now, they're favored. Most sportsbooks have the Clippers as 1.5-point favorites after the news of Leonard's presence at the morning shootaround.

Leonard hasn't played since March 31, and it appeared he was resting up before the playoffs. It came as a surprise to some that he wasn't available for Game 1.

The two-time Finals MVP has had one of his healthiest seasons in a long time. Leonard played in 68 games — the most since 2016-17 and the third-most of his career.

A healthy Leonard could make the Clippers even more dangerous in the playoffs.
