What does the public think about this game?
Toronto isn’t getting much respect on the national stage, as they are just a few games behind the Cavs in the standings, but a home underdog tonight. Toronto is riding a three-game winning streak coming into tonight while the Cavs have won six of their last seven. However, Toronto should definitely be up for this game. This can be a statement game for the Raptors and they are a perfect 3-0 against the spread this season as a home underdog. They are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a winning record on the road. If Toronto is going to make a run at the No. 1 seed, they need this win tonight.
