Cavaliers vs Raptors

Toronto’s seven-game heater and 11 wins in their last 12 now shift back to Scotiabank Arena, where a surging core of Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley finally gets Cleveland on their floor after two double-digit wins in Rocket Arena earlier this month. With the Cavaliers still leaning heavily on Donovan Mitchell’s 30+ scoring load and a top-tier offense but managing day-to-day issues for Jarrett Allen (finger) and depth injuries in the backcourt and wing rotation, while Toronto monitors RJ Barrett (knee) appeared on the latest injury report, the matchup tilts subtly toward the deeper, hotter side. Given Toronto’s combination of form, prior success against this opponent and home-court edge at plus money, I’m backing the Toronto Raptors moneyline at +105, Grade B+.

Cleveland’s offense (around 120 points per game with Mitchell driving elite efficiency) and Toronto’s own 121 points per night with Barnes, Ingram and Quickley at the controls scream shootout on paper, but the first two meetings landed at 213 and 239 total points, with one clear under and one narrow over despite hot shooting stretches. Both teams are top-heavy on creators right now, and potential absences or minute caps for frontcourt anchors like Allen and Poeltl plus the uncertain status of Barrett’s knee raise the odds of more half-court possessions and defensive game-planning in this third matchup in less than a month. With both sides already familiar with each other’s actions and the number inflated by recent scoring binges, I lean to Under 237.5 at -110, Grade B. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram have already spearheaded two comfortable spread covers for Toronto in Cleveland, where the Raptors cashed as +4.5 and +7.5 underdogs while winning outright and exploiting Cleveland’s rim protection and perimeter rotations. Even with Cleveland entering on a small two-game win streak and boasting strong point differential, the Cavs’ reliance on Mitchell’s shot creation, Allen’s day-to-day finger issue and lingering depth injuries contrast with a Raptors team that’s rolling, deeper on the wing, and now gets the favorable whistle and shooting background at home—assuming Poeltl and Barrett are at least available in some capacity. Catching a possession with the hotter team that has dominated the season series, I like Toronto Raptors +1.5 at -110, Grade B. Odds and availability are subject to change.
