Raptors at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 119, Raptors 100

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavaliers (-270) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 1/2 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Cleveland should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET CAVALIERS -6.5 (-118).

Cleveland will be extra motivated to get revenge and win by margin Sunday since it has lost the last 4 meetings vs. Toronto. The Cavaliers are on a 3-game skid and should be tempted to run up the score vs. the Raptors after Atlanta did the same thing to Cleveland Friday.

The Cavaliers are 19-11-1 ATS as home favorites this season and should be able to take advantage of a Raptors team playing its 3rd game in 4 days.

Over/Under

BET OVER 215.5 (-115).

The Over is 4-1 in Toronto’s last 5 games after failing to cover in its previous contest and 6-2 in the Raptors’ last 8 vs. teams with a home winning percentage above .600. The Over has hit in the Cavaliers’ last 4 games and is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland between these teams.

Raptors at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 105, Cavaliers 104

Moneyline

Sprinkle on RAPTORS (+150).

The Raptors have played well vs. the Cavaliers and are 2-0 straight up and ATS head-to-head this season. Toronto played above expectation at Philadelphia and New York, and has a better chance at winning straight up in this spot than the number implies.

Against the spread

BET RAPTORS +4.5 (-115).

Toronto has been great at limiting Cleveland’s top 2 scorers this season. Mitchell and G Darius Garland average a combined 50.2 points per game for the Cavaliers on the season, but just a combined 30.5 points per game in 2 meetings vs. the Raptors.

Toronto’s Siakam is playing the best basketball of his career, and his play combined with the Raptors limiting Cleveland’s best weapons should pave the way for Toronto to cover for the 3rd straight game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 214.5 (-105).

The Under is 4-1 in the Raptors’ last 5 road games, with the Over barely hitting in Toronto’s matchup at New York by a margin of just 2.5 points. These 2 teams have played low-scoring games vs. each other and the Under should hit again Friday in their 3rd meeting this season.

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Raptors (34-29) kick off a six-game road trip Sunday with a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-27). Tip-off is 7:30 p.m. ET at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Below, we look at the Raptors vs. Cavaliers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Toronto is in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, which puts it in the play-in games to determine the final two seeds for the playoffs. The Raptors trail Cleveland by two games for the sixth seed. They ended their homestand with losses to the Detroit Pistons (108-106 Thursday) and Orlando Magic (103-97 Friday), the two worst teams in the conference.

The Cavaliers are 1-4 since the All-Star break and 1-6 in their last seven games overall. They are coming off a 125-119 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Friday. Cleveland is part of a tight Eastern Conference playoff race and is only three games behind the second-place 76ers.

Raptors at Cavaliers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 108, Raptors 104

Money line

The Cavaliers are 2-0 this season against the Raptors with a 102-101 nailbiter Nov. 5 and a 144-99 blowout Dec. 26. They are 19-11 at home this season.

The Raptors are 17-14 on the road this season and 5-3 in their last eight road contests.

I LEAN CAVALIERS (-210) in this game.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Raptors have failed to cover the spread in their last three games and have only covered it in three of their last 10 outings. They are 35-28 ATS overall and an impressive 19-12 ATS on the road.

The Cavs are 17-12-1 ATS at home this season. They covered the spread in their loss to the 76ers but failed to do so in six games in a row before that.

I anticipate a close game. I LEAN RAPTORS +5.5 (-120).

Over/Under

The projected total is quite low. The two teams did have one game of 203 but the other was 243.

Four of the Cavs’ last six games have finished with totals greater than tonight’s projection. Five of the last six for the Raptors have been greater than 209.

Take OVER 209.5 (-112).

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Toronto Raptors (14-15) visit the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Sunday for a 6 p.m. ET tip-off against the Cleveland Cavaliers (19-13). Below, we look at the Raptors vs. Cavaliers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Toronto has had three of its past four games postponed due to a COVID outbreak but most recently beat the Golden State Warriors 119-100 Dec. 18. The Raptors have won three of their last four and have covered in six of the past seven games.

Cleveland had its six-game winning streak snapped with a 111-101 loss at the Boston Celtics Wednesday as 6.5-point road underdogs. The Cavs covered their previous 14 contests.

The Cavs beat the Raptors 102-101 as 6-point road underdogs in their first meeting this season Nov. 5, and the Under cashed on the 204-point total.

Raptors at Cavaliers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 105, Raptors 92

Money line

PASS since I don’t give Toronto’s G-League squad much of a chance against a Cleveland team that has a lot more of its regular players in the lineup. But, there’s no way I’d tout a Cavaliers (-410) wager either.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the CAVALIERS -8.5 (-105) since we are getting the worst of the number because Cleveland opened up as a 6.5-point favorite before the early bettors steamed up that line.

Also, the missing Cavs starters are vital to how they operate – so I’m not as confident Cleveland wins by that margin.

However, the absence of Allen and Mobley means more PF Kevin Love minutes, which might not be a bad thing. Especially against this Toronto team playing without most of its normal contributors.

Furthermore, Cleveland’s backcourt of PG Ricky Rubio and SG Darius Garland should really feast in their matchups. Garland is playing at an All-Star level while Toronto’s starting point guard (PG Brandon Goodwin) is playing on a 10-day hardship as a replacement player.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 205.5 (-112) as my favorite bet in the Raptors-Cavaliers game because this is a Pros vs. Joe’s game for the total.

According to Pregame.com, roughly 90% of the cash is on the Under whereas two-thirds of the bets placed have been on the Over.

Typically, in sports betting, it’s wise to follow the money especially when it’s flowing in the opposite direction as the public.

In my opinion, the people betting the Over are doing so under the flimsy notion that “this total is too low”. But, there’s more logic backing the Under here since teams play at a below-average pace, and the Cavaliers have gone Under the total in five straight games.

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Raptors (20-32) travel to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers (19-32) at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Raptors are skidding a bit, winning just twice across the past eight games. They’re coming off a 122-113 loss in Tampa against the Chicago Bulls on their ‘home’ court.

Toronto might finally be feeling the difficulties of playing in their home away from home, as every game seems to be a road outing. The Raptors have dropped nine straight true road games, including a 116-105 loss in Cleveland on March 21.

The Cavaliers won back-to-back games on the road in San Antonio and Oklahoma City by an average of 25.5 points per game. That comes on the heels of a five-game losing streak. The Cavs are difficult to figure this season.

Raptors at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cavaliers 113, Raptors 109

Money line (ML)

The CAVALIERS (+125) are worth a play on their home floor after coming home with a pair of unexpected blowout wins in San Antonio and Oklahoma City. The Raptors (-150) are just not playing very well lately, and they lost their only previous visit to Cleveland this season.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The Cavaliers +3 (-110) just doesn’t make as much sense unless you feel that the Raptors -3 (-110) are going to win by one or two points. Play the money line instead for a better value.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 218.5 (-110) is worth a look in this one. The Over has hit in 13 of the last 19 road games for Toronto while going 10-4 in their past 14 when favored on the road. The Over is also 5-1 in their past six against losing teams.

The Over has cashed in four of the past five meetings in Cleveland, too, while hitting in five of the past six overall in this series.

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Toronto Raptors (17-24) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (15-26) Sunday at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for a 7 p.m. ET tip. Below, we analyze the Raptors-Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

The Raptors will try again to snap a prolonged losing skid extended to seven games by a 115-112 loss to the Utah Jazz Friday. Toronto had several key pieces within the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols for the bulk of the skid but had a full roster available for Friday’s game.

The Cavs have lost five of their last six games. They shocked the Boston Celtics with a 117-110 win Wednesday but lost 116-110 to the San Antonio Spurs Friday.

This is the first meeting of the season between the Raptors and Cavaliers. They sit 11th and 13th in the Eastern Conference, respectively.

Raptors at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raptors 122, Cavaliers 108

Money line (ML)

PASS.

The Raptors (-350) are in a great spot to snap out of their losing ways but they’re too chalky of favorites for a team that has lost seven straight contests.

We’ll get better value on the spread as the Raps should be able to win this game rather handily.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

The RAPTORS -7.5 (-110) will be able to take out their frustrations on the lowly Cavaliers and will win by 8 or more points Sunday.

The COVID-related absences deserved the blame for Toronto’s first five or six losses of their current skid and Friday’s seventh game, while equipped with a full roster, was in an already-tough matchup with the Western Conference’s top-seeded Jazz.

The Cavaliers have the NBA’s second-worst 3-point defense by allowing opponents to hit at a rate of .391 from behind the arc. The Raptors are third in 3-point attempts per game (40.6) and ninth in 3-point shooting percentage at 38.1.

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the OVER 217.5 (-110) as the Raptors will be able to have success from behind the 3-point arc as they get back on track and begin their climb back toward the Eastern Conference’s playoff picture.
