The Champs are rolling through L.A. and starting the with the Lakers. They might be looking more forward to the Clippers on Monday though.
The Lakers are looking really good early. Their only loss was to the aforementioned Clippers on opening night.
These are two of the best teams in the NBA so hopefully we are treated to an entertaining game.
Toronto Raptors
So far life without Kawhi Leonard has been pretty good with the Raptors off to a 6-2 start to the season.
It is about to get a lot more challenging though with injuries to Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka in their win over New Orleans. Neither will play in this one.

Fred VanVleet has emerged as a great playmaker so they can cover that part of Lowry’s game but not the effort and heart he provides. The next man up is Norm Powell who probably gets into the starting lineup. He is experienced and has shown to be effective for short stretches.
Inside it is a shame about Ibaka. He was off to a great start. Now there is more pressure on Marc Gasol who was not.
Speaking of pressure, Pascal Siakam seems unphased by being the top option on offense now. He is averaging 27ppg but he has to watch his fowls. They need him on the floor even more now.
OG Anunoby is also emerging similar to the way Siakam did a year ago. His efficiency is way up and this is going to be a critical stretch.
With the injuries, travel and Kawhi on deck this is a terrible spot for Toronto.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers just won their 7th in a row by cooling a hot Miami team. It was impressive defensively as they yielded just 80 points.

L.A. didn’t score much either with only LeBron James and Anthony Davis scoring in double digits. They had a combined 51. They need a third reliable scorer to emerge.
Based on his first couple of seasons I thought that would be Kyle Kuzma. He began the season hurt though and now they are working him into games off the bench. It is not working so well.
Danny Green has been knocking down shots but they could use some more floor spacing to help their two stars. LeBron is having some nights where is it hard to believe how much mileage he has put on over the years. He is averaging more than 10 assists per game.

Free Toronto Raptors vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Toronto has always struggled with LeBron James and that is likely to be the case in this one. No Kyle and Ibaka really hurts what they want to do.
This could be a defensive battle as L.A. has savvy veteran players who actually know where they are supposed to be on the floor. Toronto is committed too.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Lakers -9.5
This game will be hard-fought but in the end, the Raptors are just too shorthanded. It is a shame I would have liked to see how these teams really match up.
