The Toronto Raptors travel to the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Here’s a Raptors vs Cavaliers Prediction.

Toronto Raptors 

The Toronto Raptors have been in decent form as they’ve won three of their past four games and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Bulls in a 121-108 win on Friday. OG Anunoby led the team with 26 points on 10 of 14 shooting, Pascal Siakam added 18 points with eight assists, Dennis Schroder added 17 points while Gary Trent Jr. chipped in with 16 points off the bench. As a team, the Raptors shot 53 percent from the field and 13 of 39 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 36 points in the first quarter to jump out ahead by double-digits and they kept building on the lead until it ballooned to 20 points at one stage.

As a team, the Cavaliers shot 47 percent from the field and nine of 28 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 40 points in the first quarter and they were able to hang with the Lakers in a close contest until late in the fourth quarter where the Lakers used a pivotal  7-0 run to slip away in the end.

• The Cavaliers have won each of their last nine Sunday night games.
• The Cavaliers have covered the spread in each of their last seven home games against the Raptors following a loss.
• Each of the Cavaliers’ last four games have gone OVER the total points line.

Peter’s Pick

The Raptors are starting to build some momentum with three wins in their past four games and they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their solid win over the Bulls on Friday, while the Cavaliers have cooled off with two losses in a row and they are playing this one on zero days’ rest after last night’s loss to the Lakers. It’s tempting to go with the Cavaliers who are so much more dangerous with Mitchell back in the lineup, but the Cavaliers are on zero days’ rest, so I’ll lean towards the Raptors to pull off the minor upset in this spot.
