The Clippers are coming off a big win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, and they host the Eastern Conference leading Raptors on Saturday afternoon. This looks like a tough spot for the Raptors, playing one of the best team in the Western Conference on the road. I'll take the Clippers as a small favorite.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Clippers are now 12-3 at home this season, and they've won eight straight at home in December. The Raptors have lost four straight road games to the Clippers, failing to cover in three of those four games.

2. Injuries - The Raptors are still without their leading scorer DeMar DeRozan, and he scored 36 points in the last meeting between these two teams. The Clippers won that game by a score of 118-105.

3. X-Factor - The Raptors are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Pacific Division.

Selection: This is a play on the L.A. Clippers (8*)
