Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers bring a four-game winning streak into Friday night\u2019s matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The Clippers are now 11-2 in their last 13 games after starting the season 6-21.<\/p>\n
Toronto is coming off a road win in Indiana, but has alternated wins and losses in its last five games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This will be the first of two meetings this season between the Clippers and Raptors.<\/p>\n

Leonard dropped in a season-high seven three-pointers on 11 attempts on Wednesday night in Washington, giving him at least three threes in five straight games and eight of his last 10 contests.<\/p>\n Leonard is now averaging 2.9 three-pointers made on 7.3 attempts per game this season. That\u2019s not a great percentage (39.9%) overall, but he\u2019s shooting 44% (51 for 116) in his last 13 games, with at least three threes in 10 of those contests.<\/p>\n Given how he is shooting recently, Leonard should let it fly in Toronto tonight.<\/p>\n Clippers vs. Raptors Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to bet against the Clippers right now, so I\u2019m not going to.\u00a0<\/p>\n Toronto has faltered in recent games, even dropping its last home game 115-102 to Philadelphia. The Raptors are still 13-9 at home while the Clippers are 6-14 on the road, but Los Angeles won its last two road games in Brooklyn and Detroit.<\/p>\n The Clippers are a well-oiled machine right now and should keep it going against an inconsistent Raptors squad.<\/p>\n Pick: Clippers -1.5 (-115)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Unlock $200 in bonus bets \u2014 all without a promo code for DraftKings<\/a>.
