Toronto Raptors vs LA Lakers Prediction and Preview | Nov. 10, 2024

The Toronto Raptors continue a five-game road trip with a matchup against the LA Lakers on Sunday. Toronto, coming off a 105-103 loss to the LA Clippers less than 24 hours ago, faces another tall task versus the Lakers. The Raptors hope to win despite missing key players and playing on short rest.

Meanwhile, LeBron James and Co. fended off the undermanned Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The Lakers needed a triple-double from the four-time MVP and a big scoring night from the 76ers without Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. They can’t afford a let down against another injury-hampered team in their next game.

Toronto Raptors vs. LA Lakers preview

Injuries continue to be a big factor in the Raptors’ campaign this season. Immanuel Quickley showed up after being ruled questionable to start the game against the Clippers, but the Raps missed key players. Scottie Barnes, Kelly Olynyk, Garrett Temple and Bruce Brown were all sidelined due to injuries.

The four are unavailable against the Lakers, while Quickley’s status is uncertain. Toronto must overcome little rest and an undermanned roster to pull off an upset.

The Lakers showed stretches of lapses in their win against the Philadelphia 76ers. On paper, Sunday’s game should be a walkover as the road-weary Raptors are dealing with injuries. If the Lakers keep their focus, they should handle business.

Toronto Raptors vs. LA Lakers prediction

The odds are stacked against the Raptors. Beating the Lakers on the road when healthy will be tough. Winning at Crypto.com Arena on short rest and without key players is twice the difficulty.

LeBron James and the Lakers could beat their opponents and the -10.5 spread.
