Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in red-hot form as they've won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight win after blowing past the Timberwolves in a 128-107 home win on Monday. Evan Mobley led the team with 28 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, and four blocks, Donovan Mitchell added 23 points with eight assists while Darius Garland chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 43 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with a 16-0 run to open the game and they just kept piling on the points to win comfortably despite a big game of 44 points from the Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards.
Toronto Raptors Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been in a slump as they've lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be feeling much better after they snapped a four-game slide with a 106-103 road win over the 76ers last night. Scottie Barnes led the team with 33 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists, Immanuel Quickley added 23 points with five assists while Gradey Dick chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Raptors shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 33 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to tie the game at 103-103 late in the fourth quarter before they kept the 76ers scoreless in the final 1:48 to escape with the much-needed road win.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Cavaliers are still keeping eyes on Ty Jerome and Max Strus who are both questionable, while the Raptors are still missing Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl. The line was always going to be hefty for this one as the Cavaliers have been on a tear, while the Raptors were really struggling before last night's narrow win over the struggling 76ers. I am sure the Raptors will put up a fight at first, but in the end I think the Cavaliers go on one of their extended runs to win comfortably on the road.
