Our Raptors vs. Lakers predictions like Toronto to cover another lopsided spread even if a win is a bit of a tall order.
The 2-8 Raptors haven't looked like a playoff team this season but there are things to like. Despite the losses piling up, Toronto has covered the spread consistently of late. We like the Dinos to do the same vs. the Lakers tonight.
Toronto has shown more than enough promise to keep fans excited about this young roster while ending up on the wrong side of a string of tight games. Last night was more of the same, with the Raptors slipping to a 105-103 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. Instead, it’s the Toronto offense that gives me confidence. They surprisingly rank sixth in the league with 116.5 ppg, and there are flaws in thisdefense to pick at here. L.A. sits in the bottom half of the NBA with 118.4 points allowed per game.’s return putting Davion Mitchell into a more natural backup role, the Raptors are well-placed to push the pace in another “close but no cigar” outing.’s move to the bench. We saw that on Friday in L.A.
Barrett’s assist totals have been all over the map this year — partly because he’s been overstretched in a No.1 role lately — but he’s ended up with just three dimes in each of his last two games. But beware a 2-8 Toronto team that’s found a way to keep the score close despite losing eight of its last 10 games.
