Top Raptors vs. Cavaliers predictions<\/h2>\n

After 10,000 simulations of Raptors vs. Cavaliers, SportsLine’s model is\u00a0going Over on the total (211.5).<\/strong>\u00a0The Over has hit in six of the past 10 head-to-head meetings, including in each of the last two. The Over has also hit in three of the last four Toronto games, as well as in seven of the past 10 Cleveland matchups. The Cavaliers had the fourth-best scoring offense in the league during the regular season, averaging 119.5 points per game. The Raptors averaged 114.6 points, 21st overall.<\/p>\n

The SportsLine model is projecting Toronto to have four players scoring 10.3 or more points, led by R.J. Barrett’s 21.4 points. Donovan Mitchell<\/a> is projected to lead the Cavaliers with 28.7 points scored, as four Cleveland players score 14 or more points.
