Toronto at Los Angeles

Toronto is a great defensive team (nineth in the NBA in points allowed) and heads to the Lakers, a team that plays no defense surrendering over 111 points per game (30th). The Lakers are 1-4 ATS at home and 16-34-2 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Los Angeles looked bad again after Friday's 120-119 home defeat to Minnesota. Los Angeles yielded 39 third-quarter points and is allowing league worsts of 29.8 points in that period and 111.4 overall. Toronto not only plays great defense, but also is second in the league in scoring. They are off a 106-102 loss at home to Dallas, and the Raptors are 20-6-2 ATS following a loss, plus 33-15-3 ATS after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The Raptors are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Los Angeles and hold all the cards in this one. Play Toronto!
