After a long stretch playing seven of eight at home, Cleveland heads North of the border to face a talented Eastern Conference foe. The Cavaliers are 3-9-1 ATS against the NBA Atlantic Division and face a Toronto team that is #5 in the NBA in points allowed, #10 in field goal shooting defense, and #3 in three-point shooting on offense. The Toronto Raptors are winners of nine straight at home and are trying to make a move toward the #1 spot in the Eastern Conference. Toronto is led by its All-Star backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, and it was DeRozan taking over against Minnesota on Wednesday with 31 points on 11-of-19 shooting. He is averaging 24.6 points in the last 20 contests, during which the Raptors have gone 17-3. The Raptors are 9-4 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus 10-3 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. The teams have split two games this season, with Toronto grabbing a 103-99 home win, and the underdog is 12-3 ATS when they clash. Play Toronto.
