LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
Lots of injuries on both sides, so this is a game where you have to check the reports for updates before betting. With that said, I’m rolling with the Clippers and the small number. The Clippers have been one of the best teams in the league over the last month, and they’re the better team here when both teams are at their best. The Raptors have been great in the underdog role lately, covering 7 of the last 8 games. Still, I’d need more points to give the Raptors a fair look. Give me the Clippers and small number given their current form.
