Cleveland Cavaliers vs Toronto Raptors prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had success on the road this season, but they’re still a banged up team with no Garland or Mobley, and it seems like those injuries are catching up. The Cavs have lost 5 of their last 7 games and the offense has been a mess. The Toronto Raptors should get some reinforcements in RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley and that could do wonders for this struggling team. Just inject new life and see what happens. Only laying a bucket. Give me the Raptors.
