The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers will face off in Game 4 of their NBA Playoff first-round clash at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday. The Cavs lead the series 2-1 coming into tonight’s matchup. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After back-to-back defeats in Cleveland, the Toronto Raptors bit back on Thursday, securing a crucial 126-104 victory at home. They can level the series if they follow up in this one.
The Raps improved massively on offence in the last match, with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett both scoring 33 points apiece. As a team, they shot 57% from the field and went 14 of 23 from range.
Toronto won three games against Cleveland in the regular season. Immanuel Quickley missed the first three games of this series and will not be available for this one either.
Meanwhile, after justifying their favourite status in the first two games of this series, the Cleveland Cavaliers played well for three quarters in Game 3 before collapsing in Q4.
James Harden led the team with 18 points, while Max Strus and Donovan Mitchell scored 15 each. Notably, Harden and Mitchell struggled with playmaking, managing just seven assists combined.
The Cavs will need to find a way to deal with the Raptors' aggressive defence here, which forced 22 turnovers on Thursday. Chucky Hepburn is out for the visitors

Our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers open as favourites in this match, but they will need to be a lot better on offence than they were in the last game, especially in Q4 when they completely fell apart and were blown away.
Barnes and Barrett were exceptional for the Raptors in Game 3, and if Brandon Ingram starts playing to his full potential, Toronto could be a dark horse in this season’s Playoffs. We’re expecting a closer contest here, but fancy the hosts to level the series. Our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Toronto Raptors +4.5.
If your team in the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
