Raptors-Cavaliers Prediction, Picks and Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game

The group has yet to fully come together for the injury-plagued Toronto Raptors, but having Scottie Barnes back on the stage raises the bar as they visit the 16-1 Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.

Toronto is on an upward trend after back-to-back wins this week, and my predictions for the Raptors-Cavaliers game have the visitors bringing that form to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

check out mine NBA drafts For this matchup on November 24th, Toronto’s leading scorer RJ Barrett was highlighted.

my analysis
With Scottie Barnes returning to a full-minute load and Immanuel Quickley returning to the lineup, this Toronto Raptors Crime may look a little different. But until then R.J. Barrett He was identified as the main man.

Barrett has been on a tear lately, and after a 39-point masterpiece that sank the Indiana Pacers earlier in the week, he led Toronto to the Minnesota Timberwolves with 31 points on 10-for-14 shooting on Thursday.

With Barnes giving the Raptors an extra playmaking dimension, the visitors’ consistent offense could really take off. Barrett said it best after the Minnesota win: “When you have a guy like that there, it makes everybody’s job easier.”

Barrett has surpassed that 21.5-point mark in each of his last four outings and is averaging 23.8 points overall this year; That puts him in the top 20 in the NBA.

He struggled at the free throw line, but Darko Rajakovic has to love the Canadian’s aggression. That translates to 42 attempts to assist in Toronto’s last four games.

There are obvious challenges for Barrett in this matchup; Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are lurking at the basket, but Cleveland Cavaliers he does not have the luxury of covering multiple wing defenders. This would give Barrett the necessary freedom to position himself and attack the basket.

If the Raptors stick with a starter without a true point guard, Barrett will lead a lot of possessions and I’m betting on another impressive night for Toronto’s No. 9.

RJ Barrett over 21.5 points

Raptors +11.5

Jarrett Allen more than 10.5 rebounds

Led by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, the Cavs have the league’s highest offensive scoring team with 123.5 points, but this rate is surprisingly high considering Toronto’s steady improvement this year.

While the Raptors are still trying to get their first road win of the season, they’ve suffered some exciting upsets along the way, including seven-point combined losses to the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers.

This is a much more cohesive Toronto team than the team Cleveland beat in the season opener, and I leave the points to the visitors, who are 11-5 ATS this year.

I complete my SGP with Over on Jarrett Allen‘s rebound tally. His battle with Jakob Poeltl could be decisive tonight, and he has 11 or more rebounds in four of his last five contests.

Kenny Atkinson appears to be pressing all the right buttons in the Allen-Mobley matchup. While Allen’s minutes have been all over the map this year, this looks like a game where the Cavs will need 30+ minutes from him.
