The Los Angeles Clippers face another struggling team today in the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. However, they hope for a better result than they got Friday night in Cleveland. The Raptors haven't lost 26 straight games or 36 out of 37 like the Cavs did, but they are on their way. Toronto has lost 16 of their last 17 games heading into today's game.
Both the Clippers and Raptors were 13-24 at one point this season, but the Clippers have been improving. The Clippers are 7-9 in their last 16 games, which has been made worse by their 1-4 road trip. The Clippers have played nine road games in the calendar year of 2011, and they have lost eight of those games. Here are today's probable starting lineups:
Clippers (20-33)
Point Guard: Baron Davis
Shooting Guard: Randy Foye
Small Forward: Ryan Gomes
Power Forward: Blake Griffin
Center: DeAndre Jordan
Raptors (14-40)
Point Guard: Jose Calderon
Shooting Guard: DeMar DeRozan
Small Forward: Sonny Weems
Power Forward: Ed Davis
Center: Andrea Bargnani
Amir Johnson, who missed Friday's game against Portland with a sprained right ankle, is listed as day-to-day.
