Raptors Host Lakers: Win Streak on the Line

The Toronto Raptors will look to extend their impressive eight-game home winning streak as they host the Los Angeles Lakers on December 4, 2025, at Scotiabank Arena. The highly anticipated matchup features two teams with potent offenses, though both will be contending with key player absences.

RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji are out for the Raptors due to knee and personal reasons, respectively, while Jakob Poeltl is sidelined with a back injury. The Lakers will also be missing Luka Doncic for personal reasons and Marcus Smart due to a back issue. These absences add another layer of intrigue to the contest.

Statistically, the game presents an exciting offensive potential. The Raptors score an average of 117.7 points per game, slightly more than the 115.9 points the Lakers typically allow. Conversely, the Lakers boast a higher scoring average of 119.1 points per game, exceeding the 113.1 points the Raptors concede.
