Toronto Raptors vs LA Lakers Prediction
The LA Lakers should be big favorites as they’re the healthier team, at home and have the rest advantage. The Toronto Raptors are dealing with injuries to their entire roster, they’re not winning games, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. With all of that said the Raptors are still 8-2 ATS on the season, which is all we care about. The Raptors have covered 8 of their last 9 games, and 2 of their last 3 losses have been decided by 3 or fewer points. As long as the tickets keep cashing, I’ll continue to side with the Raptors. Give me the points yet again.
