Lakers vs Raptors live stream: How to watch NBA live? Lakers vs Raptors prediction, h2h

With a depleted roster, the Los Angeles Lakers will visit the Toronto Raptors. While the latter will play with their share of players benched, the team is looking at a possible three-game streak. "Hopefully we'll get a guy or two back here during the week," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said, thinking that their team will eventually be okay. "It's all day-to-day stuff. I don't know. I mean, if we can spread these nine guys out here a little bit". 

The Raptors played without Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet on Monday, still managing to beat the Washington Wizards 103-101.

"They'll both be on the road with us, and AD continues to ramp up but is still a ways away, and LeBron is still out indefinitely," Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said about LeBron James and Anthony Davis' injury. 

"I think where we're at, we just have to play the right way on the offensive end," said Kyle Kuzma, adding that he feels the team will do alright on the defensive end.
