Advice and prediction
Both teams here are dealing with significant injury issues, and the Lakers have been massively underperforming on the offensive end without their two superstars, scoring 101 points or fewer in five of their last six games. The Raptors have a middle-of-the-road defense, ranking 15th in the league in adjusted defensive rating, so there’s not much reason to expect LA to break out in Tampa. No VanVleet will hurt Tampa, but new arrival Gary Trent Jr. should be able to provide enough backcourt scoring for the Raptors. Take Toronto -1.
Prediction: Raptors 105, Lakers 98
