The LA Clippers will take on the Toronto Raptors for the second and final time this season on Friday. LA, which won 126-10 in their first encounter on Jan. 11, will be looking to sweep the head-to-head series. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and James Harden are expected to lead the surging Clippers again.The reeling Raptors will be hoping to snap a three-game losing streak, which included a humiliating loss to the badly undermanned Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. Toronto succumbed 108-100 despite Memphis playing without four of their best players. The Raptors will have to put on a much better performance or the Clippers will run them off the building.Following a 12-2 December, the Clippers continue their hot form with yet another impressive month. They are 9-2 to open the New Year. They hold a 28-14 record and are trying to chase down the Denver Nuggets (31-15) for the third spot in the Western Conference.Friday’s game will be at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto where the Raptors are only 10-12. Gametime is at 7:30 p.m. ET. The game is not on national TV but basketball fans can watch the action via the NBA League Pass.

He will try to impose his will on the bigger Barnes on both ends of the floor. How Toronto’s star fares in this game could determine how they do against the Clippers on Friday.Paul George vs RJ BarrettAnother marquee matchup between the Clippers and Raptors will be the one pitting Paul George versus RJ Barrett. “PG13,” like Leonard, is a pest on the defensive end with his size, length and instincts.Barett’s offense isn’t as polished and as smooth as George’s but he is a capable defender. He will make the Clippers All-Star work hard for his points.
