Raptors were on a six-game losing streak before they beat the Knicks on Wednesday. They are now four games below .500. Gary Trent Jr. is injured and is questionable for tonight's game. The Cavs have won five in a row and are the third-best team in the NBA with the best net rating of +6.5. They have a league-leading 8.0 extra scoring chances per game, 3.7 more than second-place Phoenix. Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen are injured.

The Under is my favorite play for today's Raptors vs Cavaliers game. The Under has gone 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams. Last year on Boxing Day the Raps were missing their entire starting lineup due to COVID. Cavaliers average 18.3 seconds per possession after a made shot.

The Under is 9-3 in Cleveland's last 12 home games and 4-1 in Toronto's previous five away games.
