Chris Paul was cleared to play in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night after spending the first two games away from the Phoenix Suns due to a positive COVID-19 test.

The Suns grabbed a 2-0 series lead without their All-Star point guard, who was isolated at his Los Angeles-area home since the end of Phoenix's sweep of the Denver Nuggets.

The Suns are listed as a 1-point road favorite at most sportsbooks.

Paul, 36, shot 62.7 percent from the field and averaged 25.5 points, 10.3 assists and 5.0 rebounds in the series with the Nuggets.

The Clippers remain without their injured All-Star, Kawhi Leonard, due to a sprained knee.
