See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a great position to cover the -8.5 spread at home against the Toronto Raptors. With the game in Cleveland, the Cavs benefit from one of the league’s more consistent home-court advantages, where their defense typically tightens up and limits scoring runs.
Cleveland’s size and rebounding advantage should create second-chance opportunities, while their efficient half-court offense can exploit Toronto’s inconsistent perimeter defense. If the Cavaliers control the tempo and avoid turnovers, they should be able to pull away comfortably and cover tonight’s number.
