The Toronto Raptors host the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night, looking for a third consecutive win to start the month of April.

Watch Raptors-Lakers at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on TSN1/4/5, TSN Direct and the TSN App. 

The Raptors enter this game on the heels of a Gary Trent Jr. game-winning buzzer beater as the team rallied from a 19-point second-half deficit to beat the Washington Wizards 103-101 on Monday night.

The Raptors have gone 11-12 in home games this season and their current record of 20-30 has them 11th in the Eastern Conference, just one game back of the final play-in spot at 10.

Meanwhile, the Lakers are 15-8 on the road, but enter Tuesday’s game having dropped five of their last eight games – all with LeBron James out of the lineup due to an ankle injury. 

Los Angles isn't the only team dealing with injuries as the Raptors have ruled Fred VanVleet (hip) out for tonight's game vs the Lakers. Kyle Lowry (foot), Paul Watson (protocols), Rodney Hood (hip), Patrick McCaw (knee) and Jalen Harris (hip) remain out, as well.

The teams face off Tuesday for the first time this season.
