LA Clippers at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The LA Clippers (28-14) take on the Toronto Raptors (16-28) Friday with tip-off from Scotiabank Arena set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Clippers vs. Raptors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Clippers lead 1-0

The Clippers have won 6 of the last 7 games after covering as 9.5-point favorites in a 127-116 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday. They're 8-2 straight up over the last 10 and 7-3 ATS and 7-3 O/U. G James Harden is starting to gel with the club. He's only averaging 16.5 PPG this month, but his 9.9 assists per game are a season high.

The Raptors embarrassed the Miami Heat on the day they traded F Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers, but they have dropped 3 straight since. They fell 108-100 to the injury-depleted Memphis Grizzlies Monday, failing to cover as 6.5-point favorites. F RJ Barrett is averaging 20.9 PPG and 7.2 RPG in 12 games since being acquired.

Clippers at Raptors and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 131, Raptors 110

Moneyline

Nothing to see here at -350.

I will take a shot at RJ BARRETT OVER 21.5 POINTS (-125). He had 29 in the last game and 24 against the Clippers on Jan. 10.

Against the spread

The Clippers should be able to win by 8, but betting this spread on the road doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Instead, since we're already banking on Barrett, take this SGP: CLIPPERS ML + RJ BARRETT 20 POINTS + PAUL GEORGE 18 POINTS (+138) for some plus-money without a lot of risk.

Over/Under

The Raptors are 5-5 O/U over the last 10, and LA is 7-3. The Over is just 3-7 O/U over the last 10 meetings, but these rosters have changed too much to give that much weight. The Over cruised Jan. 10 when LA won 126-120. I like it here just a point higher.

Take the OVER 235.5 (-110).
