After losing the first two games of the 2025-26 NBA playoff series, the Toronto Raptors will look to bounce back at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers in game three on Thursday night. This Eastern Conference game between the fourth-seeded Cavaliers and the fifth-seeded Raptors in Toronto comes with our prediction of Toronto +4 handicap.
The Cavaliers have taken a 2-0 lead in the seven-game series, winning both games in Cleveland. The winner of this best-of-seven series will move to the conference semis, where they will play the winner of Detroit and Orlando.
Toronto were blown away 126-113 in game one before they fell to a 115-105 defeat to Cleveland in their two matches played away. Worryingly for the Raptors, they have lost three of their last four matches and need to turn things around.
That could come at home, as the Raptors have won eight of their last nine home games, including three in a row.
The Cavaliers are the in-form side, and the wins in the first two games aren’t a one-off. They have seven of their last eight matches, including three in a row, and will be confident of extending their lead.
That said, two defeats in their last four road games for Cleveland suggest a difficult outing for the Cavaliers, with an outside chance for Toronto.

Our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Toronto were beaten comprehensively in the first two games, but that’s down to a number of errors from the Raptors. They turned the ball over 17 times in game one and followed it up with 22 turnovers in game two, compared with Cleveland’s numbers of 15 and 12, respectively. To go with that, Ingram had been off-colour this series.
Home form could work to their advantage as Toronto look for a way around. Our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Toronto Raptors +4 handicap.
