Toronto Raptors - Los Angeles Clippers

Despite the Raptors' shaky track record against winning teams and top 10 defenses, their recent form at home as an underdog—and against-the-spread performance—suggest resilience. Meanwhile, the Clippers are riding a wave of strong performances. Both teams have shown offensive sparks in recent games, making the third quarter ripe for an offensive showdown. The consensus cannot be ignored—expect high-energy play and a competitive burst in the third quarter, tipping the points total over 57.5.
