Raptors at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 118, Clippers 108
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Raptors (-210) should win this game, but they are too expensive to take on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET RAPTORS -5.5 (-105).
The Raptors have covered in every game they've won, and they are 2-1 ATS as a favorite as well. Toronto has been on fire offensively, scoring at least 125 points in 2 of its last 3 games.
Without Ingram and Beal on the court, the Clippers don't have many quality scoring options. They've tallied 112 points or fewer in 4 straight games and are 1-3 ATS in games with a spread of 7 points or fewer.
Over/Under
BET OVER 219.5 (-110).
Both teams are trending toward the Over in this one. The Clippers have gone Over in 2 straight and have allowed 125.5 points per game in those contests. Meanwhile, the Raptors have gone Over in 3 straight. Both teams rank in the top half of the league in pace as well, so this should be a high-tempo contest with ample scoring opportunities.
Best prop bet
Raptors F SCOTTIE BARNES OVER 22.5 POINTS (-125).
Barnes has been on fire over the past week. He's scored 28 points or more in 3 straight games, including dropping 41 points on the Orlando Magic Friday. He's shot over 50% in each of those games as well. Against a weak Clippers defense, expect him to continue surging.
