The Toronto Raptors salvaged what could have been a disastrous five-game road trip thanks to back-to-back wins over the Clippers and Lakers and return home Wednesday to welcome LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers north of the border. The Cavs played well against Toronto last season, claiming three out of four meetings with the Raps.
Cleveland has been a streaky play at the betting window this season but has performed much better as of late. The wine and gold covered the spread in their Sportsbook three games before dropping eight in a row ATS. The Cavs righted the ship once again within the last week, covering three straight heading into tonight’s contest.
Totals bettors take note: the Cavaliers have gone above the closing total in each of their last five games.
