Clippers moneyline <\/strong>(-210):<\/strong> The Raptors went on an unexpected five-game winning streak that ended against the Chicago Bulls on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt was a nice run for Toronto but I feel another stretch of losses looming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Raptors had the benefit of playing six consecutive contests against teams under .500 (Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks x2, New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls). That luck is about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting on Sunday, nine of Toronto’s next 10 opponents are currently above .500 and in playoff\/play-in positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is this important? Well, I’m sure you won’t be shocked but the Raptors only have five wins against teams that currently have a record better than .500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other side, the Clippers are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Plus, they own a 3-1 record over their last four away games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Barnes over 19.5 points (-143):<\/strong> Barnes has had a solid floor as a scorer lately and I believe he can be productive again tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe recorded 20-plus points in five-straight games and most of the reason why is pure volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barnes isn’t playing lights out or anything, shooting 42.6% from the field and 20.0% from three over that span. But, he’s taking 18.8 shots a game and going to the free-throw line 6.8 times per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not the most efficient basketball but it’s led Toronto to winning games so I expect Barnes to continue leading the offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young forward was sidelined in his team’s first meeting with the Clippers this season but in one game against them last year, he scored 23 points on 9-of-21 shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leonard over 20.5 points (-113):<\/strong> As Leonard continues to receive more minutes, his production keeps rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHe’s now played 28 minutes in back-to-back games and cleared this total in both. Not to mention, one of those games was against the San Antion Spurs where he recorded a season-high 27 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Raptors, like the Spurs, are Leonard’s former team. I may be over-pushing the ‘revenge game’ narrative today, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence he attempted a season-high shot attempts (19) against San Antonio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toronto has the seventh-worst defensive rating (117.0) in the NBA and allows the eight-most points per game to small forwards (22.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norman Powell is out on Sunday, too, which should open up more shots for Leonard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
