Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors CashBet Wagering Analysis

The Cleveland Cavaliers with no Jarrett Allen will have a hard time containing Pascal Siakam and Chris Boucher. The Toronto Raptors also own one of the best crowds in the entire league and will be a great help in this important game.

Cavaliers Struggling Without Jarrett Allen

The Cleveland Cavaliers are missing the services of Jarrett Allen, controlling the paint for them. The All-Star center has been irreplaceable as rookie Evan Mobley and Kevin Love are struggling to fill in his shoes. Darius Garland has been fantastic for the Cavs but he definitely needs help. Lauri Markannen has been doing good as a starter but they need more firepower to finish the season strong and avoid getting into the play-in tournament zone. The injury bug has been the story of the Cavs’ season so far as this team has not reached their full potential this season.

Raptors Resurging from the North

The Toronto Raptors have been on a roll and the team has been very healthy to end this season. This team from Canada is making a strong push and would look to capitalize on the slumping Cavaliers. A win here will help them get over the Cavs in the standings at 6th overall in the NBA Eastern Conference. Pascal Siakam has been in all-star form while Chris Boucher found his way through the roster and is starting to live up to his potential. Fred VanVleet has always been a consistent contributor along with rookie Scottie Barnes. Coach Nick Nurse has successfully integrated a great culture for the team.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors Head-to-Head with Spread

The Toronto Raptors are given the edge in NBA betting spreads and their momentum is expected to culminate in this important matchup. This should have a playoff atmosphere and the crowd will be very much in it.
