LeBron James is averaging 25.4 points and 7.9 rebounds while Anthony Davis is averaging 22.5 points and three assists.

The Los Angeles Lakers are allowing 35.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.1 rebounds per game.

The Toronto Raptors look for a third straight victory for the first time since late February. The Toronto Raptors are averaging 112.3 points on 44.7 percent shooting and allowing 111.8 points on 45.8 percent shooting. Pascal Siakam is averaging 20.4 points and 4.7 assists while Fred VanVleet is averaging 19.8 points and 4.2 rebounds.

The Lakers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 35-16 in Lakers last 51 overall. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Toronto and 7-19-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings.

The Los Angeles Lakers are shooting just 43.6 percent from the field in their last five games and things are likely not going to improve without AD and LeBron. The Toronto Raptors have quietly won back-to-back games and last nights last second victory should provide a shot in the arm in terms of the mood of the team. The Raptors aren’t world beaters, but they should win this game at home against a banged up Lakers squad. I’ll lay the bucket with the Raptors.
