The Cavaliers are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home and the home team has won every game in this series. However, these are a lot of points for a Cavs team that’s looked awful in the last two games. Harden is back to Harden’s struggles in the playoffs. Mitchell has been a bit passive lately.
The Raptors are also being more physical defensively and you can see the confidence building. The Raptors have won 5 of the last 7 games against the Cavs. We also have to remember we’ve been fading the Cavs all season and they’re 35-50-1 ATS on the season. Give me the points with the dinosaurs.
