Los Angeles Lakers: Preview of upcoming 5 Game road trip
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – JANUARY 20: DeMar DeRozan

Toronto Raptors

Current Record: 32-14

Notable Streak: Winners of 9 of last 13

Player to watch: DeMar DeRozan

The Raptors are on the opposite side of the Eastern conference standings compared to the Bulls. This will probably be the hardest game for the Lakers during the trip as the Raptors are playing amazing basketball this season.

The Lakers will most likely struggle against DeRozan, who scored 24 points last time against the Lakers, a 101-92 victory for the Raptors. The 6’7″ shooting guard has height and an improved offensive skill set that will be hard on the Lakers guards.

Don’t forget about his backcourt mate, point guard, Kyle Lowry. Lowry had a triple-double with 11 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds against the Lakers in their first matchup of the season
