The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers rivalry has been fierce this season. Despite losing seven of their last ten games, the Raptors are coming off of a win due to a superstar performance by Pascal Siakam. The Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, have won their last six games due to their excellent two-way efficiency.
The Toronto Raptors currently sit 10th in the Eastern Conference, with an overall record of 14-18 and a home record of 10-6. The Cleveland Cavaliers have climbed to third in the Easter Conference, with a 22-11 overall record but a disappointing 6-9 road record. The Cavaliers hope to reverse their fortunes against the Raptors this season on their home court!

Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors are focused on earning a win in this matchup as they jockey for position in the Eastern Conference. The Toronto Raptors recently broke off their six-game losing streak behind a 52-point performance from Pascal Siakam against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. On the other side Cleveland's win streak has been powered by the stellar play of Donovan Mitchell, who has averaged 31.8 points per game through that stretch.
Over their five-game win streak the Cavaliers have been shooting 50.4% from the field, averaging 42.0 rebounds, and are forcing 13.2 turnovers. The Toronto Raptors have been excellent at taking care of the ball over their last seven games, averaging just 8.9 turnovers despite going 1-6 over that span of time. Both teams play aggressively on defence, so it should be a tight game.
The difference maker for the Cavaliers will be the efficiency of their offence. The Raptors are allowing teams 13.4 threes on nearly 40% from the field over their last seven games, while the Cavaliers have hit just 10.8 on 36.2% over their five-game win streak. The Cavs should be able to capitalize from three-point range, especially given Toronto's key injuries.
The Toronto Raptors and the Cleveland Cavaliers don't strike fans and bettors as high-paced offensive teams. This matchup is sure to be more of a defensive affair, despite both teams having their fair share of offensive options on the court. However, that doesn't mean they won't clear the low total of 215.5.
On the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are averaging 111.0 points per game (21st in the NBA) but allowing just 104.5 points per game (1st in the NBA). On the other hand, the Toronto Raptors are scoring 111.2 points per game (20th in the NBA) while allowing just 110.9 points per game (8th in the NBA). Toronto have also cleared 215.5 in 22 of their 32 games this season, while the Cavaliers have cleared 215.5 points in just 16 of their 33 matches.
Across these team's first two games this season, the pair have combined to average just 206.5 points per game. However through recent games both have shown an ability to put points on the board. Given Toronto's defensive struggles as of late, expect the Cavaliers to have improved production on the scoring front.
