The Clippers are heading into this game in a good form. Moreover, they have won in the Detroit against a solid Pistons team on Saturday afternoon. However, this will their 3rd game in the last 4 days. Therefore, they might be suffering from increased fatigue in this contest.

Prediction
Both of these teams are playing well this season. Moreover, they are almost equal and their roster is quite similar. However, I think that the Clippers may be short of winning this game. This is because have been playing quite a lot in the last few games. Also, the Raptors need this win as they lost three of their last four games. Therefore, I go for the Raptors in this one.
