Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Lakers has a 53% chance of winning the game
The Lakers are slight favorites to snap their losing streak at home against a Raptors squad missing key starters in Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett.
Key Analysis
- • Austin Reaves is confirmed out, removing the scorer who dropped 44 points in the last head-to-head meeting.
- • Toronto is without defensive anchor Jakob Poeltl and 20-point scorer RJ Barrett, leaving them vulnerable in the paint and on the wing.
- • Luka Doncic is listed as day-to-day with a groin injury, making his availability the deciding factor for the Lakers' offense.
- • The Lakers have lost 5 of their last 6 games and are desperate to correct their 11-8 home record.
- • Toronto boasts the 6th best defense in the league compared to the Lakers' 20th ranked unit, keeping them competitive despite injuries.
- • The Raptors must leverage their strong 12-8 road record to exploit a Lakers team allowing 117.3 points per game.
