Amid a four-game against-the-spread slump, the Raptors opened as slight underdogs against Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers.

Leonard will be making his first and only appearance in Toronto this season and will receive his championship ring in a ceremony ahead of Wednesday night’sBut once the formalities are complete it will be back to business for the Raptors, who find themselves mired in their first slump of the season. The team is coming off a narrow 93-92 win in Chicago on Monday night as 6-point betting favourites, which snapped a three-game straight-up losing streak that featured a pair of losses on home court.

That current two-game, straight-up home slide marks just the second time in 2019 that the Raptors have lost in consecutive home games.

However, the Raptors have produced mixed results against the Clippers, earning SU wins in just three of their last seven overall meetings while going 2-1 SU and ATS in three home matchups during that stretch. That was capped by a decisive 121-103 victory as 9.5-point chalk back in February.

The Clippers arrive in Toronto after improving to 2-1 SU and ATS on their current six-game road trip with a 110-99 win in Indiana as 3-point underdogs atsites on Monday night. Overall, the Clippers have played steady ball since opening on a 7-5 SU run, going 11-2 SU in their past 13 games with their only two defeats coming in San Antonio and Milwaukee.

Los Angeles has also regularly rewarded bettors, going 6-3 ATS over its past nine, but has struggled at times on the road. Prior to their current two-game road win streak the Clippers compiled a meagre 3-8 SU record over their previous 11 regular-season away contests, going 2-8-1 ATS during that stretch.
