Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction

The Los Angeles Clippers are as hot as any team in the league, and they should be favored here, especially at home with the rest advantage. However, the Raptors have been a lot more competitive with the additions of Quickley and Barrett, and they should have some extra juice with the way coach Darko Rajaković defended them after that loss to the Lakers. Double-digit chalk is a bit steep. Give me the Raptors and the points.
