Raptors vs. Clippers Game Info

Toronto Raptors (27-38, 11-22 Away) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (43-22, 24-9 Home)
Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: STAPLES Center — Los Angeles, Calif.
Coverage: TNT

Toronto enters this game fresh off a win, but it lost the three games prior. With only a couple weeks left in the season, the Raptors have nothing to contend for, and they are more likely to hold players out. Tonight Chris Boucher remains out, Fred VanVleet is questionable after missing last game, and both O.G. Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr. are considered doubtful to play. With all of these injury tags, Awesemo projects Pascal Siakam to lead the Raptors in scoring tonight, at nearly 23 points. Fresh off a big 37-point double-double performance against the Lakers, Kyle Lowry is projected to have another well-rounded night, chipping in 19 points, five rebounds and six assists. He will need to be solid for Toronto to have a chance in this games.

The Clippers are losers of three straight games, with the past two coming against Western Conference playoff teams. They need a good win to get back on track, and Toronto could offer them a great opportunity tonight. In order to do so, Paul George will need to stop sabotaging the team. He has shot under 30% in two of his past three games and under 43% in four straight. On top of that, he has at least five turnovers in two of his past four games. Kawhi Leonard being back and getting his footing is good news for George, though, as it takes a lot of pressure off of him. Awesemo does project George to lead the team in scoring tonight, but Leonard is also projected for 20 points.
