Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting these inflated lines because they keep winning, and they did smoke the Raptors by 30 points a month ago. However, the Cavs are 6-11 ATS in their last 17 games as a double-digit favorite. Also, the Raptors keep piling up the losses, but they’re 11-5 ATS on the season, making them a top-3 moneymaker for NBA bettors. I know the Cavs have been scary this season, and they’re a team many don’t want to step in front of, but the Raptors keep getting these big lines and keep cashing tickets. Give me the Raptors.
