I&#8217;m backing Barrett tonight while fading Anthony Davis on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Lakers vs. Raptors props for Nov. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lakers vs. Raptors props<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\"><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba\">NBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Davis under 13.5 rebounds (-130)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:99037\">Embed: #99037<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davis is among the best rebounders in the NBA, averaging 12.5 RPG in 2022-23 and 12.6 RPG last year. But even for him, this is a sizeable number to clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raptors, believe it or not, have been in junkyard dog mode on the glass so far. They have the highest rebounding rate in the NBA (55.3%), as well as the second-highest offensive rebound rate (40.2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s only been five games, so things can change. But for now, the group has plenty of on-the-glass contributors, as eight players are averaging at least 3.5 RPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jakob Poeltl leads the way (12.6 RPG), and at 7 feet and 245 pounds, he at least has the size to contend with Davis down low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes&#8217; absence won&#8217;t help Toronto, but again, there are a lot of depth rebounders \u2014 like Bruno Fernando, Chris Boucher and Ochai Agbaji \u2014 who are putting in work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor to consider is that Davis might see a reduced workload if the game gets out of hand. Los Angeles is an 8.5-point favourite, and Davis is listed on the injury report as &#8220;probable&#8221; with right hip soreness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, AD went under this number in both matchups against Toronto last year \u2014 and those came without Poeltl on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Through five games, only one player has gone over 13.5 rebounds against the Raptors (Charlotte&#8217;s Nick Richards, 14). Players such as Nikola Jokic, Rudy Gobert and Jarrett Allen all went under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barrett over 30.5 points\/assists (-113):<\/strong> With Barnes out for a few weeks and Immanuel Quickley still doubtful to play, the floor should be wide open for Barrett to claim alpha dog status in Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mississauga native dealt with an injury of his own through training camp and missed the first three games. But he&#8217;s responded well since then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barrett had 20 points and three assists (29 minutes) in his season debut on Monday. Two nights later, he posted 31 points and eight assists in 33 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that Barnes didn&#8217;t play Wednesday, which gave Barrett more opportunities to facilitate while maintaining a healthy shot volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining the Raptors, Barrett has averaged 30.1 points\/assists in 10 games without Barnes. He&#8217;s cashed this prop in four of his past seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a small sample, but the Lakers are allowing the fourth-most assists per game so far, which is why I like that component in a combo prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:20 a.m. ET 11\/01\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers visit Scotiabank Arena tonight to face the Toronto Raptors.
