Toronto Raptors vs Los Angeles Lakers | Free NBA Best Bets, Picks and Predictions For 1/9

This game Raptors Lakers I want to look at the total and I want to start with the Raptor side this is a team that made a trade um got rid of OG and added a couple pieces in RJ Barrett and quickley and what does that do that increases the

Pace for this team I’ll start off and just look at so far this season Raptors had a pace of 9803 the nine games without OG in the lineup it increased to 99.9 and if you just look at the last four games which is the games played since they traded him away since they’ve

Added RJ quick quickly it’s increased even more it’s up to 10.23 so that back up what I’m seeing with my eyes a lot more Pace a lot more offense and less defense and also you I mean you can look at the box score and you can see what

I’m talking about this Raptors team is having a good time playing with each other with 38 assists last game 31 assists the night before when you have a team who’s sharing the ball like that is going to do good things for your offense so I like love the way the Raptors are

Playing offensively they’ve gone over five of their last six games the Lakers their offense has been a little bit up and down and it’s been more so struggling lately but the difference and what I think can change here in that last game that you mentioned versus the Clippers they

Started to do a little something with Vanderbilt for one the starting lineup changed they don’t have the two um Defenders who are not great offensively in the lineup at the same time but with Vanderbilt when they’re starting to not respect him out there he’ll cut to the

Middle they’ll shoot it to him and he’ll find somebody else and that’s making the Lakers offense better than what we’ve seen over the past week or so so combination of that you look at this Toronto Raptors team they’re missing a couple big men um you do have perto out

Of the starting lineup for tonight I think Anthony Davis will eaten the paint for the Lakers amongst others so Lakers have also gone over 10 of their last 14 games these teams have gone over five of the last six meetings both teams bottom 10 defending the three

I think this game gets up and over tonight so the P absence is what I wanted to talk about because in my mind that’s one of those sneaky little absences that makes a huge difference in what Toronto is trying to do purles we we know him as a rebounder he’s not an

An offensive Juggernaut any stretch of the imagin defender and a rebounder so when he’s out we think over but a fair bit of that offense has run through purle in recent weeks he hasn’t missed a game all year are you worried at all that his absence will affect the Raptor’s offensive

Flow no I’m not because whatever even if it does mess up a little bit of the offensive flow they’re going to give it up right on the other end on the defensive end and I still trust guys like quickly and RJ to play with pace so

As long as we have that uptempo game as long as you know not a whole lot of Rim protection for that Raptor team I think we’ll be quite fine
