Lakers take on defending champion Toronto Raptors: How To Watch

After pulling out a thrilling and close victory against the Los Angeles Clipper, the Los Angeles Lakers are back on the floor this evening at the Disney World Bubble against the NBA’s defending champions from 2019, the Toronto Raptors.

While it likely won’t be as intense as their game against the Clippers due to their L.A. rivalry, the Lakers and their fans may remember that the Raptors were one of the few teams to absolutely take it to them at the Staples Center this season in a 113-104 win over the Lakers all the way back on Nov. 10, where the Raptors were dominant and reminded the Lakers that there is still a champion on the block, even without Kawhi Leonard.

How To Watch

Time: 5:30 p.m. Pacific/8:30 p.m. Eastern

Channel: ESPN (National), Spectrum SportsNet (Local)

Betting line: Lakers -2.5

The Lakers are favored to win this game and they started things off on the right foot, but it should surprise nobody if the Raptors once again deliver a bit of a humbling to the Lakers.
