Toronto Raptors Daily Fantasy Spin
Raptors small forward O.G. Anunoby was terrific in his team’s 121-108 home win over the Bulls on Friday night. In that game, the Indiana alum scored a team-high 26 points on 10 of 14 shooting from the field and 5 of 7 shooting from deep. He rounded out his stat line by chipping in 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.
Toronto shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. was a super sub on Friday night. In his team’s win over Chicago, Trent poured in 16 points in 21 minutes off the bench. He did most of his scoring by sinking 4 of 9 three-point tries on the night.
Cleveland Cavaliers Daily Fantasy Spin
Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland left his team’s game against the Lakers on Saturday night with a neck strain and did not return to action after exiting. He’s questionable for Sunday’s home tilt with the Raptors. Garland is second on the team in scoring with 20.3 points per game and leads the club in assists with 5.7 dimes per game this year.
Cleveland small forward Dean Wade has missed the club’s last four games with a right ankle sprain, and he’s questionable for Sunday’s game. Wade is averaging 3.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in 20.3 minutes per contest this season.

Raptors vs. Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
It’s worth monitoring the injury status of Cleveland’s Darius Garland all the way up to game time, as he’s one of their more important players. If he sits, rookie guard Craig Porter should see an increase in playing time. Porter has scored at least 11 points in 5 straight games for the Cavs this month.
This is a good spot for Cleveland, as they are coming off of a loss. Since the beginning of last season, the Cavs are 20-18-3 ATS after a loss. The Raptors are coming off of a win, and they’ve struggled in that spot of late. Toronto is only 22-24-2 ATS after a loss since the beginning of last season. I like the Cavaliers to get back on track at home and win this contest by a basket or more on Sunday night.
