Toronto at Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Clippers have some good basketball behind them, and are destined for a strong season. But in the moment, they have lost their way as they own a losing record over their last nine games at 4-5. They are off a huge home win vs. Golden State and may not be up to the challenge mentally and emotionally in taking on a strong Toronto team. Toronto is 22-7 to start the season, and suddenly look like the team to beat in the NBA Eastern Conference. The Raptors have not been a dog often, but have covered three of their last four in this role. Like a lot of good teams, they are especially strong off a loss at 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 when following a setback. The Clippers have not fared well defending their home court where they are just 6-13 ATS in their last 19 at home, which includes a 1-6 ATS mark at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Take Toronto in this one.
