This is a great spot for the Toronto Raptors, who are facing the LA Clippers a night after LA played an overtime game at Detroit. The win cost the Clippers a ton of energy, they were down big with 3 minutes to go in the 4th, but they managed to rally and turn things around. Head coach Ty Lue is known for taking care of his stars, I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to rest multiple key players in this game, something that has already happened several times this season. The Raptors come back home following a successful mini 3-game road trip that saw them beat the Knicks and Cavs in their last 2 games. They are a solid home team at 10-6 SU this season, they also had a couple of days of extra rest which could be the difference in tonight’s game.
Fred VanVleet has cleared this line 4 times in his last 9 outings while averaging 24.3 points per game during that stretch. The diminutive guard plays way better in home games than on the road – so far this season he’s averaging 21.5 points per game at Scotiabank Arena. In his last 3 games against the Clippers he’s scored 27, 31 and 21 points. LA playing last night should work in his favor as there could be some tired legs out there on defense, but also with the absence of PG13 and Kawhi he won’t have to run around as much on defense, which should save a ton of energy. The Clippers have also struggled defending the three-ball, they are allowing 39.4% of shots made from distance over their last 3 games. VanVleet leads the Raptors with 2.9 made threes per game this season, on 8.6 attempts per game. I am expecting big things from VanVleet in tonight’s game.
