Overview:
This is the 2nd meeting of the season between Cleveland and Toronto. In the 1st meeting, November 22nd at Cleveland, the Raptors were victorious 110-93. After tonight the 2 teams play 1 more time, March 4th at Toronto.
Prediction:
The Raptors come back home after a some-what successful 2-1 Western Conference road trip. The Cavaliers played last night so they could may be a little winded but after they were trounced at home earlier by this same Raptors team (except DeRozan was playing) I think they’ll be out for blood tonight and trying to make a statement. Take the Cavaliers +4.5 (1.95) (Bet365)
