Rogers' *10* NBA 1st Half PLAYBOOK - SMOKIN' HOT 22-9 Last 8 Days!
(NBA) Cleveland vs. Toronto,
Total: 198.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Toronto Raptors had no answer in Cleveland, allowing the Cavs to jump out to big leads in each of the first two games of this series. The Raptors actually played well in the first half of Game 2, until they collapsed in the final two minutes of the half. I expect to see a better effort offensively from the Raptors in the first half of Game 3.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Five of the last seven meetings between these two teams have gone over the total, and the over is 4-1 in Toronto's last five when playing on one day's rest. After trending under at the beginning of the post-season, Toronto has now gone over in four of five overall.

2. LeBron James - The King scored just 24 points in Game 1, but he shot 11-of-13 from the field. He only played 28 minutes, and he recorded a triple-double in Game 2.

3. X-Factor - The Cavs demolished the previous record for the most three-pointers in a game in their series versus Atlanta, but they were just 7-of-20 from beyond the arc in Game 1. They shot 7-of-21 from three-point range in Game 2, but we know they can get hot from long range at any time.

Selection: This is a play on Toronto@Cleveland first half to go OVER the total (10*)
