Raptors at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 118, Raptors 117

Moneyline

PASS.

The Clippers (-140) need to start stringing together wins after dropping 5 of their last 6 games, but are being overvalued on the moneyline considering their poor play as of late. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS +2.5 (-110).

While the Raptors have struggled to win on the road, just 12-21 straight up on the season, Toronto has been profitable as an away underdog and is 12-9 ATS (57.1%). The Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing 100 or more points in their previous contest and should be motivated to play well vs. former Raptor F Kawhi Leonard who left in free agency after Toronto’s 2019 NBA Finals win.

The Clippers are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and may struggle to match intensity with the Raptors, who blew a 6-point lead in the final 3 minutes vs. Denver last time out.

Over/Under

BET OVER 230.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 6 of Los Angeles’ last 8 games and is 7-2 in the Clippers’ last 9 after a win.

The Over 4-1 in Toronto’s last 5 games after a loss and 4-1 in the Raptors’ last 5 vs. teams with a winning record. Look for Toronto’s offense to bounce back after scoring just 4 points in the final 3 minutes of its loss at Denver last time out.

Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Raptors (38-30) go for their fifth straight win Wednesday night as they close out their six-game road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers (36-35). Tip-off is 10:30 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena. Below, we look at the Raptors vs. Clipper odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

With the winning streak the Raptors have moved within one game of the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Currently in seventh place, they would have to participate in the play-in games to determine the final two seeds of the conference for the playoffs.

The Clippers are coming off a 120-111 road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have lost four of their last six games after having a five-game winning streak and winning seven of eight. They are in eighth place in the Western Conference, lined up to participate in the play-in games. With 11 games left on their schedule, they trail the sixth-place Nuggets by six games and are eight games ahead of the 11th-place Trail Blazers.

Raptors at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 111, Clippers 107

Money line

Toronto is hot right now and they have quality wins. Three of their four wins are against Western Conference teams who will be in the playoffs or should be in the play-in games.

Meanwhile, the Clippers don’t have a win over a team over .500 since their Feb. 14 win over the Golden State Warriors.

Take the RAPTORS (-125).

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Raptors are 39-29 ATS on the season and have covered the spread in all four games of their winning streak. They have been a good bet on the road this season at 23-13 ATS. They are 13-6 ATS on the road against teams over .500.

The Clippers are 16-18 ATS at home and have covered the spread in three of their last four games. They are 4-8 ATS at home against teams above .500.

With a small line like tonight, since I expect the Raptors to win, this is the better bet because of the price.

Take the RAPTORS -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

All four of the Raptors’ wins in their streak have finished with more than 215 points. Their last six wins have all gone over 215 points.

The Clippers have had three of their last four finish with totals higher than 215 points.

Take OVER 214.5 (-115).

Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Los Angeles Clippers (43-22) host the Toronto Raptors (27-38) Tuesday at Staples Center for a 10 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Clippers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Toronto snapped a three-game losing skid by taking down the Los Angeles Lakers 121-114 as a 10-point road underdog Sunday.

This is the final of a four-game Western Conference road swing for the 11th-place Raptors, who need this game like blood for a playoff push.

The Clippers have lost three in a row following a four-game winning streak and are just 2-5 against the spread over those seven contests.

This is the first Raptors-Clippers meeting this season. L.A. swept last season’s series 2-0 in SF Kawhi Leonard‘s first season with the Clippers after bouncing on Toronto during free agency in 2019.

Raptors at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 123, Raptors 106

Money line (ML)

PASS because Toronto’s motivation is very questionable at this point, but no way would I lay -450 with the Clippers or any NBA regular-season favorite for that matter.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the CLIPPERS -9.5 (-110) for a half unit because Toronto is without four of its top-6 scorers, L.A. is the best 3-point shooting team in the Association and the Raptors are 25th in both 3-point attempts allowed per game and defensive 3-point shooting percentage.

The Clippers can create margin here because they have the seventh-best defensive 3-point shooting percentage and the Raptors have the worst defensive FTA/FG rate.

I’m not crazy about laying double digits with L.A. here, but Toronto looks checked out of this season and the Clippers are 6-3 ATS when laying between 10-12 points.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 218.5 (-110) for a half unit because I think the Clippers score into the lower to mid-120s due to the Raptors’ defensive flaws

Furthermore, L.A.’s offense is due for a bounce-back effort since it has put up more than 117 points since April 18 and the market is barreling into the Under, which gives us a “fade the market” angle.

According to Pregame.com, nearly 85% of the money is on the Under, which has steamed the total down from the 221.5-point opener. Perhaps wait closer to tip-off for a better price, but for now, I’m on the OVER 218.5 (-110).
