Sunday night will decide the winner of the 2025-26 NBA Eastern Conference first-round playoffs between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Toronto Raptors, with the series tied 3-3. This match at Rocket Arena in Cleveland between the 4th-seeded Cleveland and the 5th-seeded Toronto comes with our prediction of more than 210.5 points. The winner of this round will face the winner of the Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic game in the conference semis.
The Cavs won the first two games of the series (126-113, 115-105) at home before the Raptors struck back at their home in the next two games (126-104, 93-89). The teams then won one each at their home (125-120 for Cleveland and 112-110 OT for Toronto).
Does that give the Cavs an advantage at home? They have won eight of their last ten games at home, including six in a row. That record holds good against the Raptors too, having won all three at home this season.
Donovan Mitchell and James Harden will be crucial for the Cavs, having averaged 44.3 points together in the playoffs. For the Raptors, RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes have 48.5 points per game together.
The challenge for Toronto will be to improve their road form, as they were beaten in seven of their last eight road games, including the last five.
