Odds From Betonline.ag
The Raptors are playing at home and that will help Toronto out to a point in this game. However, the Cavaliers are facing Toronto after the Raptors recently lost in their last game to Chicago, but that was a road loss. The Cavaliers ended up losing to the Lakers at home in a very poor showing defensively. I look for that type of defensive effort to continue here for the Cavaliers and playing on the road it will be even harder to see Cleveland getting the win here. Look for the Raptors to win on the money line here and for the total to hit the over here as the Cavaliers defense is horrible.
