KVSP 
Through 3 Quarters
The Toronto Raptors are on the road but looking no worse for wear. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the Los Angeles Clippers 81-76.
The Raptors have been riding high on the performance of power forward Pascal Siakam, who has posted a double-double on 29 points and 11 rebounds. Point guard Reggie Jackson (18 points) and power forward Marcus Morris (17 points) have been the top scorers for Los Angeles.
the Clippers have lost 75% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know
The Toronto Raptors are staying on the road on Wednesday to face off against the Los Angeles Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET March 16 at Crypto.com Arena. The Raptors will be strutting in after a victory while Los Angeles will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Toronto strolled past the Los Angeles Lakers with points to spare on Monday, taking the contest 114-103. Toronto relied on the efforts of shooting guard Gary Trent Jr., who had 28 points along with five rebounds, and power forward Pascal Siakam, who posted a double-double on 27 points and 11 boards in addition to five assists. Trent Jr. had some trouble finding his footing against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction.
Meanwhile, the Clippers fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 120-111. A silver lining for Los Angeles was the play of center Ivica Zubac, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 14 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Zubac has had at least 12 rebounds.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Toronto is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.
Toronto’s win brought them up to 38-30 while the Clippers’ loss pulled them down to 36-35. Toronto is 22-15 after wins this season, and Los Angeles is 20-14 after losses.
