Cavaliers at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 115, Raptors 111

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that's way too much money for not enough reward, especially on the road.

However, the Raptors (+280) cannot be trusted against the red-hot Cavs, as Toronto has won just 3 times in the past 11 games, and it hasn't beaten a winning team since Jan. 17. And again, remember, the Raps are playing in a back-to-back, and it has dropped 5 straight with no rest.

PASS.

Against the spread

The RAPTORS +8.5 (-110) are a strong play catching more than 4 buckets at home.

While Toronto has split with Cleveland so far this season, the Raptors have covered both of the meetings this season. And as an underdog, Toronto is 3-2 ATS in the past 5 outings.

The Cavaliers -8.5 (-110) are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games when favored by 8 or more points.

Over/Under

UNDER 230 (-110) is worth playing lightly.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 5 games for the Cavaliers, and the total has gone low in each of the past 5 road outings for Cleveland.

The Under has cashed in 4 of the past 6 meetings in this series. While the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games for Toronto, the total has actually gone low at a 8-5 clip across the past 13 contests.
