Lakers at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Raptors 114, Lakers 103
Moneyline
The reward for taking Toronto (-350) straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds, so I’ll PASS on the moneyline.
Against the spread
RAPTORS -8.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this game despite it being a pretty large spread. It remains to be seen if F Anthony Davis plays Wednesday as he was forced out of Tuesday’s game due to illness.
The Lakers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss by more than 10 points and they are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 meetings against the Raptors.
Over/Under
The Over/Under in this game could be dependent on whether or not Davis suits up for the Lakers. But if he doesn’t, then UNDER 227.5 (-110) is an enticing wager.
The Under is 5-1 in Toronto’s last 6 games after allowing 100 or more points in the previous game and 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
