The LA Clippers and Toronto Raptors are competing to improve their place in their respective conference. The Toronto Raptors are ninth in the East with a 32-34 overall record and have won six of their last ten games. The LA Clippers are eighth in the West with a 34-33 overall record while dropping seven of their last ten games.
While the Toronto Raptors allow their opponents to shoot efficiently from the field, they still limit their opponents to 112.1 points per game (7th in the NBA) and force 16.6 turnovers per game (2nd in the NBA). Despite the loss, Toronto must build on a positive performance in their last game, scoring 113 points on 50.0% shooting from the field and 37.0% from three-point range.
The LA Clippers are a solid team when controlling the pace, limiting teams to 113.0 points per game (13th in the NBA) on 87.8 field goal attempts per game (12th in the NBA) while converting on 12.8 threes (9th in the NBA) on 37.7% efficiency (6th in the NBA). The Clippers earned their first win in six games in their last match, scoring 135 points on 52.9% from the field and 41.4% from three-point range.
This matchup between two usually defensive teams is tighter than many will realize. We're taking the Clippers in this matchup because their offense has been impressive, despite their struggle to close games. Against a Raptors team that has inconsistent scoring, the Clippers' combination of pace and defense should earn them the win.
Neither the Toronto Raptors nor the LA Clippers are known to have high-powered offenses. Through 66 games, the Toronto Raptors combine for 224.7 points per game on a plus-0.5 points differential. The LA Clippers average a combined 225.7 points per game on a minus-0.3 points differential.
Through Toronto's last five games, they've averaged a combined 219.2 points on a minus-5.4 points differential as they've allowed their opponents to shoot 51.3% from the field. The LA Clippers have been in similarly poor form, averaging a combined 238.4 on a minus-7.2 points differential. Both teams have lost more games than they've won in their last five.
The last time these two teams met, they combined for 237.0 points in a 124-113 win for the Clippers. Given the Raptors' improved defense since the All-Star break, don't expect the scoreline to be as high as it was in their late-December meeting. Despite the Clippers' increased pace, they and the Raptors will likely fall short of the 229.0 points total.
