Cleveland at Toronto

Premium Pick

A pair of young up-and-coming teams square off tonight in the opener at Toronto. Cleveland has already made the step up, and they were better at home (26-15) than away (22-19) last year, which is common with young teams. Toronto has great pieces in the backcourt to build around in Immanuel Quickley and R.J. Barrett along with All-Star forward Scottie Barnes (19.9 ppg, 8.2 rpg), the fourth overall pick in 2021. When the Raptors had Barnes, Quickley, and Barrett on the court with 7-foot center Jakob Poeltl (11.1 ppg, 8.6 rpg), they outscored opponents by 65 points. Play Toronto.
