Raptors outlook:

Seven-day forecast

This marks not only the end of a long road trip for the Raptors, but their first with stops against both Los Angeles teams. It’s been a long journey, and if they win one of these three that would be pretty good. Friday at L.A. Lakers, 10:30 p.m. Kobe Bryant is one thing, but the Raptors also have to deal with old friend Lou Williams, who is sure to have fire in his eyes when he gets a chance to take some shots — literally — at Toronto. Sunday at L.A. Clippers, 3 p.m. After all the off-season drama about DeAndre Jordan leaving/not leaving, the Clippers are whole and legitimate Western Conference contenders. The Chris Paul-Blake Griffin combination remains lethal. Wednesday vs. Cleveland, 7:30 p.m. Capping a tough stretch against the other NBA finalist from last season, the Raptors get to see LeBron James and the well-paid Tristan Thompson for the first time this season.
