But it’s hard to have faith in the Lakers without their two superstars on the floor. The Under is 5-1 in the Raptors' last six games following a game in which they allowed 100 points or more. But the biggest factor keeping me away from laying with the Raptors here is once again their inconsistent offense against a solid Lakers defense. And it doesn’t help that All-Star [Fred VanVleet](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1756/fred-vanvleet) is in a prolonged slump. [Pascal Siakam](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/1764/pascal-siakam) back, the Raptors offense is still a work in progress. Now, the shorthanded Lakers will be going against a healthy and tenacious Raptors defense. And that's in a season where LeBron and AD have played most games. They are 2-0 straight up and 1-1 ATS in those games, covering in a recent matchup against Orlando but failing to do so against Houston. And that was with LeBron on the floor. But more importantly for the Lakers, the white-hot Anthony Davis was forced to leave the game with flu-like symptoms and will miss this one. But they are in a nice spot to bounce back Wednesday night against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers will be playing their second half of a back-to-back after falling to the Cavaliers in Cleveland last night.

NBA Odds: Lakers-Raptors prediction, odds and pick - 12/7/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Toronto Raptors. We continue our NBA odds series with a Lakers-Raptors prediction and pick.

The Raptors are 13-11 against the spread while 50% of their games have gone over. They’ve been similarly impressive on the glass where they rank seventh in rebound differential and fourth in rebound rate. The Lakers are 10-13 against the spread while 52% of their games have gone over. Ride the home favorites with confidence tonight. For the season Siakam averages 24.5 PPG, 8.9 RPG, and 7.1 APG. The key component to their success was the play of forward Anthony Davis. Siakam’s production has been a constant this season but if they want to cover a hefty spread tonight they’ll need a strong performance from second-year forward Scottie Barnes. Despite their mediocre record, the Raptors were without star Pascal Siakam for a large portion of the season. LeBron averages 25.8 PPG, 9.1 RPG, and 6.4 APG while shooting 47% from the field. On defense, they rank 21st in points allowed and 14th in defensive efficiency. They’re slightly better on offense where they rank 12th in scoring and 22nd in offensive efficiency. LA doesn’t have a single glaring issue, rather they are just mediocre on both ends of the court.
