Los Angeles Lakers vs Toronto Raptors Preview, Predictions and Odds| April 2 2024

Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers (42-33) take on the Toronto Raptors (23-51) in Canada. This is a game that favors the visitors by a considerable margin. This has more to do with the unavailability and overall poor play of the home side. But the Lakers team can be up and down and can play to their competition.

With that in mind, do you see the Raptors being able to keep this one close at home?

In terms of scoring for the Toronto Raptors, the best option left may be Kelly Olynyk against the Los Angeles Lakers. Over the last 10 games, he’s averaged 14.4 points as well as 6.2 assists and 5.6 rebounds. Therefore, he’s the most consistent all-around contributor. Furthermore, Gradey Dick is someone who can get hot every now and then, averaging 13.0 points per game on 41.5% shooting from the field.

Game Prediction

The Lakers could easily drop a game to the Toronto Raptors. However, as much as this LA team can often keep things interesting against bad teams, the line and my pick here say more about the Raptors. It wouldn’t be surprising if Toronto kept it close for large parts of the game or even at the end. However, the overall talent disparity and how the Lakers are playing make that the least likely scenario. Therefore, I’m picking the Los Angeles Lakers against the spread.

Final Pick

Los Angeles Lakers -12
