Raptors vs Cavaliers

Cleveland rides a run of six wins in its last seven games, including the comfortable Game 1 victory, and now leans on Donovan Mitchell, James Harden and Evan Mobley to protect home court against a Raptors team that closed the regular season winning four of six but is now on a one-game skid to open the series; with both sides essentially at full strength per the latest injury reports and Toronto’s earlier 3-0 regular-season edge already erased by Cleveland’s physicality and playoff experience, the Cavaliers moneyline is the clear side even at a steep price, grading out as a B+ play for its strong win probability but limited payout relative to the risk.

Scottie Barnes and the Raptors should tighten up defensively after a 239-point shootout in Game 1, while Cleveland, which has won six of its last seven overall, is likely to lean further into its halfcourt offense and size with Mobley and Jarrett Allen to control tempo against a Toronto group that had been hot down the stretch but now faces the pressure of a 0–1 hole, and with both teams healthy and fully shortening their rotations as a 4–5 playoff series settles in, Game 2 projects as a slower, more physical contest than the opener, making Under 224.5 a B- play given the modest edge versus the heavier juice and the ever-present risk of elite shot-making pushing it over late.

Toronto comes into Game 2 on a one-game losing streak after dropping the opener, but their 3-0 regular-season record against Cleveland, the versatile wing trio of Barnes, RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram that has repeatedly attacked the Cavaliers’ smaller guards, and the absence of major injuries on either side all point to a better-adjusted response against a Cavs team that has still covered a lot of numbers lately behind Mitchell and Mobley, so while Cleveland is the rightful favorite to hold serve at home and go up 2–0, Raptors +8.5 earns a B-grade as a solid value on a motivated underdog that has already shown it can keep this matchup within a couple of possessions.
