Toronto is outstanding on defense behind newcomer Kawhi Leonard, top 10 in the NBA in points allowed, fifth in field goal shooting allowed, and sixth at defending beyond the arc. Toronto is 20-5-1 UNDER the total against losing teams, plus 11-5 UNDER on the road versus teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Rebuilding Cleveland has no offense, last in the NBA in scoring, and #23 in shooting. Cleveland is still operating without Sam Dekker (ankle) George Hill (shoulder) and Davis Nwaba (knee). They just traded away long-range sharpshooter Kyle Korver for guard Alec Burks, who made his debut last night. The Cavs have averaged 91 points per game the last three contests. Cleveland is on a 10-4 run UNDER the total and is 14-6 UNDER at home against teams with winning road records. Take the UNDER.
