- 5th straight road game for Raptors losing on the 8th to the Clippers and staying in LA to take on the Lakers on a days rest.

- Lakers haven't played since the 7th and now get D'Angelo Russell back in the fold to contribute to their success without LeBron on the court.

- Defensively the Lakers have been very good against the deep shot, and Raptors havs been flailing in that category surprisingly with the shooters they possess, but the longer team is LA when you attribute the players they've acquired before the All-star Break.

- Offensively for LA I don't see anyone containing Anthony Davis in the paint tonight, though Pascal Siakam and Chris Boucher will attempt to, it's rare to say, but LA are the more efficient team in both categories and should dictate a slower pace in this home game.

- Lakers have gone Under in the last 5 straight home matches
