Tip&#8209;off is set for 9:30 p.m. ET on SportsNet LA and TSN. The Lakers enter as 1.5&#8209;point favorites, while the game total sits at 225.5 points.<\/p><p>Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, with five players listed on each side, including Luka Doncic for Los Angeles and RJ Barrett for Toronto. The Lakers have gone 4&ndash;6 in their last ten, while the Raptors have been steadier, winning six of their last ten.<\/p><p>LeBron James and Doncic lead the Lakers&rsquo; attack, while Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes headline Toronto.
