TV--Fox Sports West.

Radio--KLAC (570), KWKW (1330).

Records--Lakers 42-21, Raptors 23-41.

Record vs. Raptors--0-1.

Laker update--The five-game homestand ends much the way it began 10 days ago, with the Lakers still trying to find their footing. Forget their stride. Even with the major comeback, Friday’s loss to the Clippers was a setback in that they continue to lack the ability to play a focused 48 minutes, the reason what should have been a relatively easy stretch of the schedule has been anything but that.

Raptor update--The issue of the two expansion teams still being ineligible for the No. 1 draft pick will probably be irrelevant for the Raptors because, barring a major collapse, they won’t be in position anyway: Seven teams have worse records. They had beat two possible playoff clubs, Phoenix and Sacramento, before the run at a team-record four-game winning streak ended Saturday at Golden State.
