The Toronto Raptors will look for their third straight victory Sunday night when they hit the road to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:30 p.m. ET. WHERE TO WATCH Sportsnet and the FAN 590 will call the game for Toronto. Bally Sports Ohio and WTAM 1100 and 100.7 WMMS will broadcast for Cleveland. WHAT TO WATCH FOR Toronto will have a chance to break .500 this year against a Cavaliers team that sits at 8-8 as well. The Raptors haven’t had a winning record this season since their opening-night victory
over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Cavaliers have yet to get going on either side of the ball and boast both an offensive and defensive rating worse than Toronto’s. On the second night of a back-to-back for the Cavaliers, the Raptors will have a chance to sneak out of Cleveland with a big win against one of the East’s best teams from last year. Stopping the Cavaliers these days means slowing Donovan Mitchell who is averaging 28.5 points per game with a 38.9% three-point stroke. Expect Toronto to throw OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes at the matchup as the Raptors look to stall Cleveland’s offense at the point of attack.
INJURY REPORTS Gradey Dick remains in the G League for Toronto. Christian Koloko is still out with an illness. Cleveland has yet to release their injury report. Dean Wade was the only Cavaliers player to miss Saturday’s game. GAME ODDS The Raptors are +1 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 50%. The total for the game is 220.5.
