*10* SURE SHOT on Toronto Raptors.

Both the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers have destroyed most of their opponents lately with the Raptors riding a seven-game winning streak and the Clippers winning 12 of their last 14. The Raptors have had a more forgiving schedule this week though and I think the home team will come out ahead.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Court Advantage - The Raptors have opened a seven-game home-stand with wins against Brooklyn, Boston and Miami. They've covered the spread in all but one of their last seven when hosting the Clippers who will play their third straight on the road after splitting a pair of meetings with Cleveland and New York.

2. The Raptors Defense - Toronto held the Clippers to a season-low for points when they won 91-80 at Los Angeles back in November. The Raptors rank fourth in the league with 96.8 points allowed per game and gave up just 81 points in Friday's win against Miami.

3. X-Factor - Los Angeles has the third worst free throw percentage in the league at 69.5% while Toronto has the third best at 79.5%
