The Cleveland Cavaliers have rattled off wins in nine of their last 10 games and can improve that mark with a win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Is another OVER in store tonight? Seven of the past nine meetings between the Raptors and Cavaliers have gone OVER the closing total.
Sportsbook opened the Cavs as 1.5-point home favorites with a total of 223.5.
- The Raptors are 8-0 SU in their last eight games after a loss.
- The Raptors are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games on the road against the Cavaliers.
- The total has gone OVER in six of the Raptors’ last eight games on the road against teams with winning records.
Cleveland has vaulted into third place in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs split two meetings with the Raptors earlier in the season, with Toronto’s win coming in the form of a 133-99 thumping of the wine and gold on January 11. Cavaliers point guard George Hill didn’t play Sunday vs the Mavericks due to an ankle sprain and is likely to miss tonight’s game.
The Raptors look like a team that’s simply going through the motions ahead of playoff time, evidenced by the Dinos dropping four of their last seven. Regardless, Toronto has maintained its spot on top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Raps saw a franchise-record streak of 17 straight games with 10 or more three-pointers come to an end in Saturday’s loss to Boston. Toronto went 8-for-35 from downtown vs the C’s.
Beware the Raptors as underdogs. In Toronto’s previous 11 as a dog, it’s 9-2 ATS.
