Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/25/26

After splitting their last four games, the Raptors conclude their 5-game road trip with a Wednesday night affair at the Intuit Dome, facing a familiar face in Kawhi Leonard and his Clippers. The two wins of the trip came against the Bulls and Jazz, while the two losses were against the Nuggets and Suns. I think we can all agree that the level on which the Clippers play is a lot closer to those of the Nuggets and Suns, so the Raptors could face an uphill battle here. They could once again be without starting center Jakob Poeltl, not having him on the inside would leave a massive void for the Clipper players to exploit. The defense is a big concern right now if you’re a Raptors fan – they’ve allowed 120+ in 3 consecutive games, including against the tanking Utah Jazz.

The Clippers are starting to come to life with back-to-back wins over the Mavericks and Bucks. Darius Garland numbers have been impressive over the past 8 games, he’s averaging 23 points on over 50% from the field, while from three-point land he’s at over 53% efficiency. The win against the Bucks was a blowout, with no starter playing more than 24 mins, so the Clippers should be fresh to take on this Raptors team. LA won the first meeting in Canada back in mid-January, behind a massive night from James Harden. With the Beard no longer on the team, the Clippers will have to turn to other options to lead them here. Unlike in the first meeting, Kawhi is healthy for this one and Garland is in great form.

There could be some tired legs on the Raptors roster here. I’m sure they cannot wait to get back home after spending the last week or so on the West coast. LA didn’t exert a lot of energy in the blowout win over the Bucks, plus they’re 6-1 SU in 7 meetings with the Raptors and come into this one having won 7 of 9 overall. I’ll take Kawhi and co. in this one.
