The Toronto Raptors have been inconsistent all season long, and they're just not a team I'm eager to back because of that, especially on the road. I just can't figure out the Raptors and which team is going to show up. The Los Angeles Lakers are finding ways to win, they need to keep winning to get into the playoffs, and AD is playing his best ball of the season. Have to side with the Lakers in this near pick em.
