LA Clippers vs. Toronto Raptors Odds & Last 5
Last year, the clubs split the season series, each winning once. This is the first game of two this season.
Although sitting 11th in the West, the Clippers are climbing the ladder behind their recent success. To wit, LA has won 11 of its last 13 matches and is on a current four-game winning streak. They will play six of the next eight contests on the road.
Through the last five matches, the Raptors are 3-2 and 7-3 through the last ten contests. This, in spite of being severely hampered by injuries. During this run, they’ve missed at least two starters a night, with three starters out versus Indy, and the next two players who enter off the bench first are also sidelined.
LA is favored by two points with an over/under of 215.5 points.

LA Clippers vs. Toronto Raptors bottom line:
Kawhi Leonard is having a career season, while James Harden defies the age gods with his output. Diving into their numbers, however, it’s concerning that LA ranks 30th in assists and 29th in rebounding.
Actually, it’s hard to fathom how the Clippers score so many 3-pointers with so few assists unless they are producing primarily via pull-up treys.

Clippers Raptors Free Pick: Clippers -2
Here is my 76ers Raptors free pick.
This makes for an intriguing matchup as LA will fire away from deep and look to score at the rim versus Toronto’s fifth-best perimeter defense and eighth-best paint defense.
Conversely, Toronto will move the ball on offense or score at the rim (LA ranks 12th in paint defense) and on defense will look to force turnovers (LA coughs up the ball the 24th most) to turn into fast break scoring (Raptors rank 1st).
The Raptors’ youngsters continue to give credence to the adage “next man up”. Grady Dick had his best game of the year in Indy, recording his first-ever double-double, while Collin Murray-Boyles seems to grow a bit more each game.
Toronto limps into this match having just played the Pacers with just eight players (after Jamison Battle went down). Eight players are on the injury report, including Poeltl (back), Quickley (back), Barrett (ankle), Mamukelashvili (illness), and Walter (hip).
Then there is the Kawhi spell – since leaving after the championship, Kawhi is 8-1 versus Toronto.
Ultimately, all the injuries have me leaning toward LA, but keep an eye on the injury report as several players are listed out “until” Jan 16th. If the Raptors get even half of the injured players back, I’d lean the other way and take the points.
