LA Lakers vs Toronto Raptors Injury Reports for April 2 | 2023-24 NBA Season 

The LA Lakers visit the Scotiabank Arena amid a six-game road trip to face the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. The Lakers have gone 6-1 in their past seven games, including 3-1 on the road. Meanwhile, the Raptors are in a freefall, with a league-high 11-game losing streak, winning just once in 16 games.

The Lakers also hold the season series advantage 1-0 after claiming a 132-131 win on Jan. 9. The game created quite a lot of controversy, as LA got 36 free throws, while Toronto had 13. Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic made the headlines after ripping officials for the disparity.

It was a close contest thoroughly, but the Lakers edged ahead behind Anthony Davis' 41 points, 11 rebounds and six assists and LeBron James' 22 points and 12 assists. Five other Lakers also scored in double digits.

The Raptors look even more different now than they did after the departure of Pascal Siakam, Dennis Schroder and multiple other veterans at the trade deadline. They are the underdogs despite homecourt advantage due to a multitude of factors.
