  • The Toronto Raptors are sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat in the Eastern Conference right now and will look to improve on a stellar 53-18 SU and 40-31 ATS record with a road win over the third-place Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Just how bad of a bet has Cleveland been at home? In the Cavs’ previous 38 home games, they’re 9-28-1 ATS.

    Sportsbook opened the Raps as 1-point road favorites with a total of 226.5.

    SHARK BITES
    • The total has gone OVER in the Raptors’ last five games with no days off between games.
    • The Raptors are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games on the road against the Cavaliers.
    • The Cavaliers are 2-6 SU and ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning records.

    The Cavs, who sit 11 1/2 games behind Toronto in the East standings, received a boost when all-star Kevin Love returned from a 21-game absence due to a broken hand to score 18 points over 25 minutes in Monday’s 124-117 victory vs Milwaukee. Interim coach Larry Drew is in charge of running the team with Tyronn Lue on leave as he deals with health issues. Tristan Thompson (ankle) and Rodney Hood (back) are listed as questionable for the game.

    Toronto has won a franchise-record nine straight road games after topping Orlando 93-86 on Tuesday, but another franchise-record streak of 23 consecutive 100-point outings was snapped in the process thanks to a measly 10 fourth-quarter points by the Dinos. All-star DeMar DeRozan sat out against Orlando but is expected to be back in the fold tonight. Overall, Toronto has won 20 of its past 22 games.

    While the wine and gold have been struggling to cover at home, the Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games.
