NBA Preview: Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Although they have been playing well as of late, the Toronto Raptors are coming off their most embarrassing loss against DC on Monday night. Cleveland’s season has not been going much better, as the Cavaliers need to start winning games if they have any hope of making the playoffs.

Toronto Raptors

The 23-34 Raptors could walk away with a win in Cleveland if they play well. Rudy gay now leads the team in points per game with 20 and there is a three way tie for most assists on the team. Everyone besides Andrea Bargnani has been contributing. However, Gay is coming off his worst game of the season against DC as he went 1 for 11 shots. They will need to get their legs back and take advantage of the struggling Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have had a rough season so far as their 18-38 record proves. Their home record is not very good either sitting at 10-16. They are 5-5 in their last ten games and are excited to come back home after a rough road trip. Kyrie Irving leads the team in points per game with 23.3, and also leads in assists and steals. As long as he is able to break the raptor defense he should make a significant impact in tonight’s game.

Most sports books and bookies have the Raptors listed at the favorite, but only by 1.5 points. Their horrible loss against DC has many sports betting fans wondering if they will be able to make the playoffs after all.
