Both teams enter Monday's showdown on tired legs, with the Clippers showing a hint of desperation after five straight losses. Even so, a victory over the visiting Raptors won't be easy, nor is it likely.

My Raptors vs. Clippers prediction is that the visitors from up north will prolong Los Angeles' suffering and extend its losing streak to six games, winning straight up and covering the spread in the process. 

On a night when all 30 teams across the Association are taking the hardwood, the Clippers find themselves listed as 5.5-point underdogs for a 10 p.m. ET tipoff at the Intuit Dome. 

Let's dive into my analysis and NBA picks for Monday, Nov. 2.

 TOP PICK
Raptors vs Clippers prediction: Raptors -5.5

Play up to 57%. 

A 124-112 loss to the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors on Sunday was the latest setback in a series of unfortunate events for the Los Angeles Clippers. To add insult to injury, Derrick Jones Jr. hurt his knee with mere seconds to go in the third quarter, which may keep him sidelined for tonight's festivities. 

Los Angeles' offense is lacking options, and it ranks 26th in points per 100 possessions at 105.6. The defense hasn't fared much better, ranking 29th in opponents' field-goal percentage (49.4%) and 26th in opponents' 3-point percentage (38.3%).

The Toronto Raptors are just 2-8 straight up in their last 10 road games against the Clippers since 2016, but this may be the most vulnerable version of their opponent during that span. Even without Kawhi Leonard (knee), Toronto's offense still ranks third over the last three games, scoring 122.3 points per 100 possessions. Los Angeles simply doesn't boast the firepower or personnel to keep up as constructed.

Covers COVERS INTEL: During their five-game losing streak, the Clippers' offense sits dead last in points per 100 possessions at 103.4. Their net rating is -13.3, as well, with only the winless Sacramento Kings posting a worse number (-16.4).

Raptors vs Clippers combo

While the Los Angeles Lakers carried a double-digit lead for most of Sunday's eventual 131-125 win over the Raptors, Toronto showed some fortitude late while erasing a 15-point deficit and forcing head coach JJ Redick to reinsert his starters during garbage time. That may have lit a fire under the Raptors for a more inspired all-around performance tonight.

An Over has been registered just a single time in the last nine occasions these teams have competed against each other in Los Angeles (1-7-1).  

Five assists seem to be the magic number for Scottie Barnes in 2026-27, as he has yet to exceed that mark through six appearances. Sunday was the fourth time the All-Star forward finished with exactly five dimes.

  • Raptors moneyline
  • Under 220.5 points
  • Scottie Barnes Under 6.5 assists

Raptors vs Clippers player props

Raptors player prop: Ja'Kobe Walter Over 2.5 3-pointers

Play up to 55%.

Toronto is incredibly weak shooting the rock from behind the arc, ranking 25th in makes (11.7) and 24th in efficiency (32%). That makes Ja'Kobe Walter's contributions in that department all the more valuable.

The 22-year-old shooting guard is 26th in both triples per game (2.8) and total threes (17), all while converting a career-high 41.5%. 

He's gone four straight contests with at least three 3-pointers, making him the perfect threat to abuse a Clippers defense that's proven incapable of slowing down hot shooting. 

Clippers player prop: Rui Hachimura Over 5.5 rebounds

Play up to 50%. 

Rui Hachimura's rebounding numbers aren't setting the world ablaze. The eight-year pro is grabbing six rebounds per contest on 11 rebounding chances, although both outputs are significantly higher than what he contributed to the Lakers in 2025-26 (3.4 boards on 5.8 chances).

This prop is more so trying to bank on the upside of a 6-foot-8 big bringing down at least six rebounds against a Raptors team that allowed Walker Kessler and Luka Doncic to each finish with exactly 15 last night. 

If Jones Jr. sits, then his 4.6 rebounds per outing need to be accounted for tonight, raising the ceiling of this prop even more.
