Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Perhaps this match-up is finally on terms Toronto could agree to. The Raptors come in as the top seed of the East while the Cavaliers enter as a four-seed. Last year, the conditions were far different. Both teams had to put in work to get to this juncture. Cleveland required seven games to get rid of divisional pest Indiana in the first round. Toronto defeated number eight seed Washington in six games.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors Prediction 05/02/2018

Truth be told, neither side offers tremendous equity in this contest. On the one hand, Toronto is prone to being overvalued because they have been a beast on their home court all season long, as well as the top seed. Contrarily, Cleveland is also in a spot where they can have their value inflated, as well. The Cavaliers are the still the top dog of this conference even if they are the lowest surviving seed remaining in the playoffs. This is because they have been the team on top for the last three seasons. Fortunately, we have seen a significant lean on the Under in this contest despite the fact it has all the rudiments to be an explosive offensive-oriented affair. LeBron James alone can catalyze Cleveland's offense, and Toronto's offense has been firing on all cylinders throughout their campaign. Therefore, book the Over.
