The Toronto Raptors will wrap up their West Coast road trip with a pair in Los Angeles starting Wednesday night against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers at 10 p.m. ET.

Where to Watch

Sportsnet and TSN 1050 will air the game in Toronto. Bally Sports SoCal and AM 570 LA Sports will broadcast for L.A.

What to Watch For

  • Kawhi Leonard said Toronto's aggressive defense was a little predictable the last time these two teams met. It was a comment refuted by Raptors coach Nick Nurse who was adamant his team wasn't pressuring Leonard to get off the ball. This time around, the Raptors might want to shake things up and play Leonard a little more straight up with O.G. Anunoby as the primary defender.
  • Scottie Barnes has been a little too animated with referees this season and it cost Toronto Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. It's OK to talk to the officials occasionally, but he needs to remain focused on the game and get back on defense.
  • With the Raptors on the West Coast, keep an eye on the Hawks-Wizards game earlier in the night. There's just one game separating Atlanta in the eighth seed and Washington in the 10th seed with Toronto in the middle. 

Injury Reports

Otto Porter Jr. will be the lone absentee for Toronto.

The Clippers will be without former Raptor Norman Powell.

Game Odds

The Raptors are +2.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 44.2%. The total for the game is 229.
