The Toronto Raptors are starting to bounce back after a sluggish second-half start. According to the most recent Raptors odds, Nick Nurse is positioned to move to 4-0 this West Coast swing if they can head to Hollywood and take care of business against an MVP candidate.
Toronto will take on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for the first of their two meetings in the next week. By now, even the most casual NBA fan is aware of the fact that the Lakers went from title contenders in the preseason to a fringe play-in team without much depth.
The Lakers’ best odds of avenging their loss against Phoenix is leaning on James to carry the load. With Toronto suffering from some injuries to their best players, the squad LA will face off against is not what the full-strength squad will look like. The Lakers could exploit that.
Will Pascal Siakam and Toronto pick up their fourth win in a row at the expense of the beat-up Lakers? Will a moment of individual brilliance from James help LA end up on top in this one?

Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Lakers are fresh off getting dominated by Phoenix, so they will likely try everything possible to avoid a repeat performance. When you have a player like James in the game, it’s impossible for the Lakers to truly be counted out. If anyone knows that by now, it’s Toronto.
Still, the Lakers are missing some big names due to injury. Shorthanded Toronto, meanwhile, is fresh off two road wins against future playoff teams. A fourth straight victory isn’t completely out of the question here if Siakam and Gary Trent Jr. get hot early.
Raptors 113, Lakers 105
