The Toronto Raptors have turned things positive since acquiring Rudy Gay. Gay has been responsible for a few buzzer beaters, and the Raptors have been a .500 team since he arrived. The Lakers have the talent, at least on paper, but guess what? That talent has led them to also being a .500 team at 31-31. The margin on paper simply has not translated to the same margin on the floor, so the Lakers continue to play overlays by the oddsmakers. The Raptors have become a viable road team at 7-3 ATS in their last 10, while the often no-show Lakers are a dismal 19-40-1 ATS in their last 60 vs. a losing team. Take the points in this one and play on Toronto.
