Our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

As they have been for most of the series, Cleveland is the small favorite in Game 6. That said, Toronto looks to be the best betting option. The Raptors have yet to lose at home in this series, and while that is only over a sample of two games, there is ample reason to like them to cover the spread in Game 6 as well.

In particular, the Raptors’ defense has been much more effective at home in this series. They are allowing an average of 96.5 points per game; therefore, with this game a must-win and with the home crowd behind them, our Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is: Toronto Raptors +3.5.

Prediction:

 

Toronto Raptors +3.5
