Raptors' VanVleet to play vs. Lakers

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet will play tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers, per TSN's Josh Lewenberg. 

LeBron James remains questionable for the Lakers as Los Angeles is on the second night of a back-to-back.  

VanVleet missed Saturday's 127-115 victory over the Denver Nuggets as he continues to recover from a right knee injury. He played in Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns after missing the previous five games.

The 28-year-old All-Star is averaging 21.3 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.6 rebounds this season.

OG Anunoby had a follow up with the hand specialist in LA today. The small fracture in his finger hasn't fully healed yet, so he and the team have to decide whether to give it more time or try to play through it. Plan is for him to test it out in practice tomorrow.
