Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction 11/24/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Cleveland Cavaliers pay a visit to the Toronto Raptors at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction. This article will include a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Pick.

Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview 

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in great form as they’ve won nine of their last 12 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after routing the Clippers in a 120-105 victory on Sunday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 37 points, eight rebounds and six assists on 14 of 22 shooting, Evan Mobley added 18 points with 10 rebounds and two blocks while De’Andre Hunter chipped in with 17 points.

As a team, the Cavaliers shot 52 percent from the field and 17 of 45 from the 3-point line, but I think this win was more about their defense as they were always in control. They kept the Clippers’ James Harden to just five of 16 shooting from the field and zero of eight from the 3-point line, which made it easier to outpace them from start to finish. 

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors have been on fire as they’ve reeled off 11 wins from their last 12 games and they will be gunning for an eighth straight victory after beating the Nets in a 119-109 win on Sunday. Scottie Barnes led the team with 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists, RJ Barrett and Ja’Kobe Walter each scored 16 points while Brandon Ingram chipped in with 14 points, six rebounds and four assists.

As a team, the Raptors shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 30 from the 3-point line as they poured in 65 points in the first half to take the early lead. However, it was actually a really close contest with the scores tied late in the fourth quarter before the Raptors went on a crucial 10-0 run to escape with the gritty win at home.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Cavaliers are still shorthanded with Sam Merrill out and they are keeping eyes on Lonzo Ball and Jarrett Allen who are both listed as day to day. The Raptors are sweating on the availability of Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett for this one. The Cavaliers have been on a nice run and they will be feeling good following their big win over the Clippers. However, it is actually the Raptors who come into this meeting as the team in better form and one of the hottest teams in the league.

The Cavaliers have expectedly opened as slight favorites on the road and the early money seems to be headed in that direction, but the Raptors have been playing great team basketball lately. I think they can pull off the minor upset at home if the Cavaliers have an off night from the 3-point line. Give me the Raptors to continue their hot streak with a win at home in this spot.
