Toronto looks for payback for a 123-120 home loss to the Lakers on Dec. 4. The Raptors ran into a hot Clippers team and lost 121-117 in overtime on Friday night. Toronto is 5-0 ATS its past five games following a loss and 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Los Angeles is 0-4 ATS its past four against teams with winning records. The Lakers have lost five of six (1-5 ATS) and the last two were against teams with losing records, Charlotte and Portland. The Lakers also are playing a back-to-back while dealing with several key injuries, including Luka Doncic, who is day-to-day (groin), and Deandre Ayton (knee). Toronto has covered 13 of the past 19 meetings overall and 12 of 15 on the road against the Lakers. Take the Raptors.
