ASSOCIATED PRESS - The Toronto Raptors have yet to decide how they will replace injured leading scorer DeMar DeRozan in their lineup. His absence may not make too much of a difference in his first game out since they are facing the woeful Los Angeles Lakers. The Raptors have won three times in 17 road games in this series but figure to be favored Sunday night as they try to hand the Western Conferences worst team a fifth straight defeat. DeRozan, averaging 19.4 points, left in the third quarter of Fridays 106-102 home loss to Dallas. One day later, the team learned that he will be out an indefinite period with a torn tendon in his left groin. Coach Dwane Casey did not say how he will adjust his lineup, and the Raptors (13-3) know they need others to help fill the void left by DeRozan. The thing about our team is that we have guys that can step up and theyre definitely going to have to, forward Amir Johnson said. Johnson and DeRozan are both natives of the Los Angeles area who no doubt would be relishing this trip home to showcase why Toronto (13-3) is the Easts best team. Only one will be on the court. I feel sorry for the young man cause hes a helluva basketball player, Lakers coach Byron Scott said. I know hes an L.A. kid as well. Casey may have to give more playing time to reserve forward James Johnson, averaging 6.3 points and 18.3 minutes. James is going to have a tough task because hes learning the 3 and the 4 offensively so hes in a tough position in a sense because now were going to need that extra body at the 3 with DeMar out, Casey said. Scott doesnt see the Raptors as being too weakened. DeRozan is one of five players averaging at least 10 points for a club scoring an East-leading 107.6 points. Theyre still very athletic, very young, Scott said. They get after you pretty good. Terrence Ross is a good player, so itll probably put a little bit more on his plate and the same thing with Kyle Lowry and those guys. The coach was angry after Fridays 120-119 home defeat to Minnesota. Los Angeles (3-13) yielded 39 third-quarter points, and is allowing league worsts of 29.8 points in that period and 111.4 overall. Its really been our third quarters thats been killing us, Scott said. So obviously were not coming out of the locker room ready to play to start the third quarter and we gotta change that. The offense continues to revolve around Kobe Bryant, who easily leads the league by averaging 23.1 shots for the NBAs highest scoring average - 26.4. Bryants memorable career-best, 81-point performance came on a Sunday night at home against Toronto in a 122-104 win Jan. 22, 2006. He made 28 of 46 shots that night but is a far less efficient player now in the twilight of his career. Bryant is shooting a career-worst 38.8 percent. Ironically, one of the few other players in the top 50 in scoring below 40 percent is DeRozan (39.4). The Lakers superstars 27.6 scoring average against the Raptors is his best against any East foe.
