Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction: Who will be stronger?

Kawhi Leonard won his last championship with Toronto, and a visit to Canada is especially important for him. The Clippers gave one of their leaders a rest ahead of their meeting with the Raptors - will that help them win?

The Raptors won their last two regular-season games, but they still have a negative balance of wins and losses - 15:18. The Canadian club is still in 10th place in the Eastern Conference; the reason for that is the recent series of 6 losses in a row. Otto Porter is still injured and is unlikely to play in the next two and a half weeks. Precious Achiuwa is close to returning to action, but his appearance against the Clippers is highly questionable.

Pascal Siakam almost alone pulled out the game against New York, scoring 52 points, and his teammates got involved in the last round. The final score was 118:107, a win for Toronto. Perhaps the critical factor was that the Raptors made more than half of their shots (19-of-37, 51.4%).

The team moved to fourth in the Western Conference thanks to three wins in their last four games, and chasing them out of the top six will be very difficult. Kawai Leonard is feeling increasingly better, Los Angeles is going without nearly any losses, and Tyronn Lue even has to bench Robert Covington.

After giving Kavaj a rest, the team didn't easily beat Detroit in the last game. It took overtime to determine the winner, which the Clippers defended almost perfectly. The result was 142:131 in favor of Los Angeles. Paul George added 11 assists to his 32 points; Marcus Morris, Ivica Zubac, and Reggie Jackson were also effective. John Wall, Norman Powell, and Luke Kennard combined for ten three-pointers, and Terrence Mann didn't disappoint.

The Clippers and Raptors have been scoring consistently lately, but both teams are also good on defense at the arc. Los Angeles, for example, was able to take care of Washington recently defensively, but they suffered a setback against Detroit. Paul George has been unstable of late, and against Toronto, it will be more difficult than in the game against the Eastern outsider. As for the winner of the game, the Clippers have a strong roster.
