Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Raptors have started showing signs of life in recent times, winning three of their last four outings including that dominant victory over Golden State at the weekend. While the Lakers got a much-needed win against their Los Angeles rivals, they have been extremely inconsistent since the in-season tournament, and it would come as no surprise if they were kept at arm's length in this one. Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Toronto Raptors prediction: Toronto Raptors +4.5.
