ASA play on 8* Cleveland Cavaliers -4 over Toronto Raptors, 7:40 PM ET - Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives and each has struggled in recent outings as the Cavs have lost 3-straight, Toronto 2 in a row. The difference though is that the Raptors lost to Orlando and Detroit at home who are two of the worst teams in the NBA. Cleveland on the other hand has three losses to Philadelphia, Charlotte and Minnesota who are all significantly better than the Pistons and Magic. The Cavs had some health issues with their two All-Stars as Garland and Allen both missed time after the break and the team struggled. Both played against Philly and made huge contributions, and both are expected to be in the lineup today. Toronto has struggled without two starters in their lineup as Van Vleet and Anunoby have both missed time. On the season the Raptors have the 13th best offensive efficiency numbers but in their last five games they’ve dipped to 21st. The Cavaliers are 4th in the NBA in defensive efficiency on the season and will provide a stiff challenge for the depleted Raptors offense. Cleveland is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings with the Raptors and have a great shot at covering this number considering they have a +/- at home of +5.4PPG which is 7th best in the NBA. Lay it!
