Well, if the Raptors were waiting for a powerhouse team in the NBA so they could make a statement, tonight is the night. We have Raptors vs. Lakers, 9:30 PM (EST) tipoff. The game is on theScore and the Fan590. The Lakers have the league's best record at 13-1 and have won six straight road game. The Raptors' record currently stands at 8-7, having won two straight.

What to Watch For:
- Jermaine O'Neal is expected to make his return to the lineup tonight. This means Jamario Moon - who has played quite well as a starter - will most likely return to his role as an energy man off the bench. JO will need to help keep Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol off the boards while contributing on the offensive end.
- Chris Bosh has continued to be dominant over the recent stretch. He's averaging almost 34 points per game over his last four and he will need to keep it up to beat a very tough lakers team.
- The Lakers don't foul their opponents very often - on Friday the Mavericks attempted just nine free throws. It's critical that Jose and AP penetrate to allow Bosh and O'Neal to work down low.
