10* UNDER Raptors/Cavs (EAST-CONF NON-DIV TOM)

Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening for a few different situational reasons. Both teams are 8-8 SU. Toronto has won two straight, while seeing the total go "over" the number in four straight. Note though that despite their most recent 121-108 win over the Bulls, the Raptors have still seen the total go "under" the number in six of their last eight after playing to three or more straight "overs" in a row. Unlike Toronto, Cleveland has now lost two straight after last night's 121-115 home loss to the Lakers. Previous to that the Cavs failed to reach 100 in a 129-96 home setback to Miami. Like the Raptors though, Cleveland has also seen the total go "over" in four straight. With the home side fatigued and hungry to snap the losing streak, we're expecting it to "double down" on the defensive end this evening. This number is high, the play is the "under!"
