Raptors at Cavaliers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cavaliers 113, Raptors 109
Moneyline
BET CAVALIERS (-115).
The Cavaliers haven't played many games at full strength, but Mitchell returned against the Lakers and G Darius Garland is healthy as well. They were 25-18-1 ATS at home last season without many key injuries and should return to that form here. The Cavs are 3-5 at home straight up but should have the length to limit Siakam and will finally have the scoring to go with their lengthy frontcourt.
The Raptors are 4-4 straight up and ATS in their last 8 games. During that span, they went 3-0 against teams with losing records and 1-4 vs. teams that are .500 or better. Toronto hasn't proven itself quite yet.
Back CAVALIERS (-115) here.
Against the spread
PASS.
The Cavs have had 1 of 16 games decided by a point. Play the moneyline for the safer option.
