RAPTORS @ CAVS *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Toronto vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -104.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
The Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors will play on no rest here following a 93-86 victory at Orlando on Tuesday, but I don't think that will an issue. All-Star DeMar DeRozan (thigh) sat out yesterday's game but is expected back tonight, and I like the Raptors too keep rolling here as they go for their 20th victory in 22 games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' will play under interim coach Larry Drew as Tyronn Lue is on leave while dealing with health issues, no doubt compounded by the team's poor results. They're just third in the conference, a massive 11 1/2 games behind Toronto and the Raptors have won the last two meetings, including a 133-99 home triumph back in January.

The Raptors are a solid 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games while the Cavs are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

My selection is an 8* play on Toronto Raptors.
