Cavaliers Wants To Win Game 2 Cleveland Cavaliers – Toronto Raptors Game 2 Preview

The Cleveland Cavaliers proved that right now they're red hot when playing at the Quicken Loans Arena because in the last 13 games in playoffs they have 12 wins and only one defeat. The reigning champion nothing less but a championship title and for sure they would like to see these serious finished as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Toronto Raptors cannot find a proper solution for the Cavaliers when playing in Ohio. In the first game, they failed aspects of the game but they have a new chance tonight to redeem themselves and gain the home court advantage. But this is not going to be an easy task James staff and they have to perform a miracle in order to grab a win on Cleveland Court.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Toronto Raptors Game 1

Cavaliers

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were fantastic in the previous game dropping 59 points combined. Also, they have a lot of help from Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson and these two guys kept the rebounding balance around the paint, closing out Raptors big man. The key to their success lies in the fact that they limited the DeRozan and Kyle Lowry to only 29 shots from the field and also kept them away from the free throw line. They have 9 free-throws combined for the entire game.

Toronto

Toronto failed to provide a decent offensive play, although they scored 105 points. Demar DeRozan had only 19 points and the star of the Raptors had been beneath his standards. If we compare this display with the last three games he played in which he almost averaged 28 points and had much greater influence on the game, we come to the conclusion that this might be the key reason why the Raptors failed in Game 1. Jonas Valanciunas had an upsetting night scoring only 6 points along with grabbing 6 boards, and one of the Raptors vital players was entirely out of the game, leaving them with no inside attacking option against the hosts.

Prediction

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that the Cleveland Cavaliers are huge favorites in this game tonight. In 4 postseason games, they played against the Raptors at Quicken Loans Arena the average victory against them was by 24.8 points margin. Seeing the result from the previous game, we have to say that the Raptors made some progress, but this isn't enough to claim a win tonight.

When looking the handicap for Cleveland which is - 7.5 points we come to a conclusion that this is a pure gift for all of us, because, without a doubt, the Cavaliers are going to win with greater difference than this.

Considering points margin, 214 is the limit, and we think that this one is going over. But a much safer bet is to play on Cleveland with the handicap.

Outcome: Cleveland -7.5

Over/Under: 214 Over
