Clippers Struggling North of the Border

The Raptors head into Sunday’s game looking for a season-high eighth consecutive win with the team averaging 104.3 points and a scoring margin of +11.4 in that span. DeMar DeRozen is averaging 25.6 points per game during the Raptors winning streak and has hit the 30-point mark in each of his past three outings.
The red-hot Clippers will be looking to avenge their 91-80 loss to the Raps in their first meeting this season. Since that loss to the Raptors on November 22, the Clippers are 22-8 and have averaged 102.3 points per game.
