Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors, sitting at 4-12, are set to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, who boast a 16-1 record, in a Sunday night clash at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET. The Cavaliers are heavily favored, with a spread of -12.5, reflecting their dominance at home, where they've strung together nine straight wins. The moneyline odds further highlight this disparity, with Cleveland at -750 and Toronto at +560, suggesting an 85% implied win probability for the Cavaliers.

Both teams come into this matchup well-rested, with the Raptors having last played three days ago and the Cavaliers four. While the Raptors snapped a losing streak with an upset over the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 110-105 despite being 7-point underdogs, their road woes persist. They've dropped eight consecutive road games, a troubling trend as they face a Cavaliers squad that has been nearly unbeatable at home.

Cleveland's recent form is impressive, coming off a commanding 128-100 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Key to their success has been the play of Darius Garland, whose performance in points and rebounds has drawn significant betting interest. The player prop market for Garland opened at Over 23.5 points and rebounds (-125) and has since moved to 24.5 (-110), indicating sharp bettors are backing the Over.

As the Raptors aim to defy the odds once more, they'll need to harness the momentum from their recent victory and overcome their travel struggles. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers will look to maintain their home court advantage and extend their winning streak. With both teams having had ample rest, this matchup promises to be an intriguing battle of resilience and strategy.
