Toronto concludes a three-game homestand on Monday night by hosting a very talented and rising Cleveland Cavaliers team.
Toronto is a 3-point favourite on the NBA odds.
Cavaliers vs. Raptors NBA Betting Odds
Monday is the second of four regular-season meetings between the teams but last matchup in Toronto – although they could easily meet in the postseason.
In the season opener on Oct. 19, the Raptors beat the Cavaliers 108-105. Pascal Siakam had 23 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out, and OG Anunoby scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter as Toronto outscored Cleveland 32-21 in the quarter. The Dinos were 8-for-22 from 3-point range through the first three quarters, but made 5 of 8 in the fourth.
Donovan Mitchell scored 31 points in his Cleveland debut (tied for most ever by a player in his Cavs debut), Jarrett Allen had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Evan Mobley added 14 points for the Cavaliers, who held an eight-point lead through three quarters. Cavs All-Star guard Darius Garland injured his left eye in a collision with Gary Trent late in the second quarter and didn’t return.
The Raptors are 6-1 ATS in the past seven at home in the series. The total has gone under in four of the past five there.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland comes off a 102-94 win in Detroit on Sunday. Donovan Mitchell had 32 points and Darius Mitchell had 19 points and 10 assists – definitely one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Cleveland trailed for much of the game but outscored the Pistons 29-16 in the fourth quarter. The Cavs were a bit short-handed for that one and will be tonight. Big men Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love and forward Lamar Stevens have been ruled out. Guard Caris LeVert has missed four in a row with an ankle issue but might play. Cleveland is 2-6 ATS in its past eight Monday games.
Toronto Raptors
Toronto snapped a two-game losing streak with a 105-100 win over Dallas on Saturday in a minor upset considering all the players the Dinos were missing due to injury. OG Anunoby scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, and Fred VanVleet also had 26. Chris Boucher scored a season-high 22 points and had 13 rebounds. Pascal Siakam has missed a few weeks with an adductor injury but might return tonight as he practiced Sunday. Scottie Barnes, also out Saturday, is questionable. Precious Achiuwa and Otto Porter will not play. Toronto is 2-5 ATS in its past seven when scoring at least 100 points in the previous game. Guess we will make a play here thinking Siakam and Barnes are playing.
