Los Angeles Clippers 2018-2019 Schedule Breakdown: December

Game 27: LA Clippers vs Toronto Raptors
Tuesday, December 11 at 7:30 PM on NBA TV
Last season: Clippers swept series 2-0
This will be a game worth tuning in to. Our Clippers will face the team that possesses the star we so strongly desire, Kawhi Leonard.
The Raptors had the offseason their fans will always remember. They backstabbed probably the greatest player their franchise has ever had. But they did it for The Claw, Khawi Leonard. Toronto also fired Dwayne Casey, after he led them to the No. 1 playoff seed in the East. They did not add anyone via the draft, after trading the pick to Brooklyn.
The Raptors will have the schedule advantage in this matchup. The Clippers are playing in the second game of a back-to-back whereas Toronto will come in with one day of rest.
Prediction: Due to scheduling, the Clippers will not have enough in the tank to topple the former No. 1 seed. The Claw and Co. will have gelled by this time and will overpower the Clippers.
