"Toronto comes into this contest with a win in Indiana against the Pacers, where they were holding a comfortable lead pretty much the whole way until the fourth quarter, where the Pacers made the game uncomfortable for a bit, but Brandon Ingram's threes late in the fourth quarter iced the win for Toronto to secure their 25th win of the season."
"The LA Clippers started off the season on horrible form, but have really picked things up lately, winning four in a row and eight out of their last ten. 2019 Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard has been enjoying one of the best seasons of his career as he's on pace for a career high of 28.2 points and 94.1 percent from the free-throw line."
Toronto (25-17) sits fourth in the East with a +1.8 net rating, boasting a top-four defense but low offensive ranking. The Raptors won at Indiana, relying on late Brandon Ingram threes, but face a growing injury list including Quickley, Mamukelashvili, Barrett, Walter, Hepburn, Temple, Poeltl and Jamison Battle's ankle issue. LA (17-23) ranks 11th in the West with a negative net rating but has won eight of ten and four straight. Kawhi Leonard is enjoying an elite scoring season, on pace for a career-high 28.2 points and outstanding free-throw accuracy, while contributing steals, rebounds and playmaking.
