Toronto Raptors vs LA Clippers Picks and Prediction
Pick: Toronto Raptors
Toronto should have opportunities to take advantage of a Los Angeles team that has struggled offensively throughout the early part of the season. The Clippers have had trouble finding consistent scoring production, and their defensive issues have made it difficult to stay competitive against stronger opponents. Toronto has enough offensive talent to attack the basket and create quality looks from the perimeter. The Raptors should also have opportunities to use their athleticism to create transition scoring chances. Los Angeles will have home-court advantage on its side, but the Clippers have to improve significantly on both ends of the floor. Look for Toronto to take advantage and pick up the road victory.
Total Pick: Under
Los Angeles has struggled to score consistently this season, and that could become an issue against a Toronto team capable of applying defensive pressure. The Clippers have been held to low offensive totals in recent outings, and their inability to create easy scoring opportunities has limited their overall production. Toronto should have success offensively, but the Raptors do not necessarily need a fast-paced game to control this matchup. Los Angeles will have to find ways to generate offense without relying heavily on difficult perimeter shots. Expect the Clippers to struggle for extended stretches as Toronto controls the game and keeps the combined scoring total down.
