The Coach's Friday NBA Trifecta
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Toronto,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
The LA Clippers and the Toronto Raptors will try to bounce back as they do battle north of the border in snowy Toronto. The Clippers are coming off a double digit loss in Cleveland last night while the Raptors are coming off a SU loss as a favorite at home to Brooklyn. These two teams met at the Staples Center back in January where the Raptors won 110-98 as the small underdog. Look for another Raptors win as the spot is good for them.

Raps better rested- This is the third game on a five game home stand for the Raptors. Toronto had the game against Nets on Wednesday but has had the extra day to rest and prepare for this game. The Clippers meanwhile played just last night in Cleveland.

Letdown spot for the Clippers- The Clippers come off the big TNT game at Cleveland last night and have a high profile upcoming big game against West rival Oklahoma City next on the Calendar. Don't be surprised if the tired legs of the Clippers get caught looking forward to the meeting with the Thunder. The Clippers are just 2-3 on this road trip so far.

X-Factor- Kyle Lowry had 25 points and 7 assists.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Raptors (8*)
