LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors: Current situation
Injuries have slowed down the Clippers for years now and the 2024-25 season seems to be no different. Kawhi Leonard is yet to play a single game, without him the team has managed to go just 4-4 over their first 8 games of the season. It took the Clippers 5 games to get their first home win of the season in their brand new arena, right now they find themselves just shy of a play-in tournament spot in 11th place in the Western Conference.
Just as we projected the Toronto Raptors are among the worst teams in the NBA this season. In 9 games played they are just 2-7, only the Philadelphia 76ers have a worse record through the first 2 weeks of the season. Canada’s only team in the NBA will be an underdog on most nights, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The 2025 NBA Draft class is loaded with talent, Toronto will likely get a top 3 pick which could result in a altering franchise player coming their way.
LA Clippers Stats & Form
With back-to-back wins over the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers optimism is back among the LA Clippers fan base. Two unlikely heroes have stepped up their game this season, compensating for the absence of Kawhi Leonard. Norman Powell actually leads the team in scoring, averaging 25 points per game. Croatian big man Ivica Zubac is averaging 17.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, making an early case for most improved player honors. The aging James Harden still has a lot left in the tank, but until the Clippers get Kawhi Leonard back they will hover around the .500 mark.
Toronto Raptors Stats & Form
Toronto is currently one of the most injury hit teams in the NBA with 5 players on their injury report. R.J. Barrett is doing his best to keep this team afloat until all those players come back, but he is unable to do it by himself. The Raptors currently have the worst defense in the NBA, allowing 124.7 points per game. They also play the 6th fastest pace in the league, so it’s no wonder opponents are dropping 130 points against them on a regular basis. Right now they are in midst of a 5-game road trip, with games against the Lakers and Bucks remaining after Saturday’s.
LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors: Head to Head

LA has won two of those meetings by double-digit points, while the most recent game went their way 127-107. However, Toronto still leads the all-time regular season series with 29 wins to the Clippers’ 27 wins.

Betting tip and prediction: LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors (09.11.2024)
Although the Clippers play only the 26th fastest pace in the NBA, this should still be a high scoring game. Toronto’s defense is nowhere to be seen, only twice in the 9 games they’ve played so far this year, their opponent failed to score 120 points on them. The Clippers rank at a respectable 12th place in three-point efficiency, knocking down 36.6% of their attempts. That number has gone up to 42% over their last 3 games vs Oklahoma City, Philadelphia and San Antonio. LA should also dominate in the rebounding department with big Zu averaging over 12 rebounds per game this season. Toronto’s opponents have grabbed an average of 58.3 rebounds against them in their last 3 games, that’s the 4th highest mark in the NBA. Due to their high pace style of play, the Raptors have been able to stay in games this season, but they’ve just not been able to contain opponents in the clutch. Don’t be surprised if this game finishes in the high 230s. Let’s back the over.
