Cleveland improved to 32-4 on the season on Wednesday with a decisive victory at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Western Conference's top seed. Before Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors, the Cavaliers had won all 11 of their previous games and are on a winning streak of 70 or more.
Toronto's loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday means that both of these clubs are playing the second night of a back-to-back. Despite having healthy players Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley, the Raptors have lost badly to two Eastern Conference contenders, Milwaukee and New York.
After missing a considerable amount of time due to an elbow injury, Immanuel Quickley has made an appearance in Toronto's last four games, scoring 16.3 points, dishing out 8.5 assists, and pulling down 3.0 rebounds per game.
In two of those games, he pulled down 8.5 rebounds and provided an assist, both of which included double-digit rebounds. In a defeat to New York on Wednesday, IQ finished with eight rebounds and assists.
Quickley had some impressive assist totals in his few games this season, so I believe he is worth a wager in this prop as he continues to get back into game shape.
With an 8-9 record against the spread and a 1-16 record overall, Toronto is the NBA's worst road team this season. In those games, they had an average scoring differential of -11.4 points per game.
On the second night of a back-to-back, it must now travel to play the NBA's top team against the spread.
Sometimes it comes down to not overanalyzing a wager. Given that the Raptors were thrashed by a weak New York Knicks squad on Wednesday, I can't defend betting on them at this point.
In Friday's NBA game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Toronto Raptors at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Raps (8-29) are in 14th place in the Eastern Conference, while the Cavaliers (32-4) are in first place.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who defeated the Thunder 129-122 last night to extend their win streak to 11, will be full of confidence going into this game.
Cleveland shot 52% from the field and made 15 of 36 shots from beyond the arc as a team, but Jarrett Allen scored 25 points to lead the charge in the decisive victory.
The Cavaliers are allowing 111.0 points per game (11th overall) and scoring 122.7 points per game on average, which is second-best in the league.
The Toronto Raptors, meanwhile, are still struggling to get results and lost to the Knicks 112-98 on the road Wednesday night, their 14th defeat in 15 games.
Despite the contributions of Scottie Barnes (18 points), RJ Barrett (16 points), and Immanuel Quickley (22 points and five assists), they were unable to stay up with their opponents.
With an average of 110.7 points per game, the Raps are ranked 21st in the scoring charts. However, their defense has been appalling, giving up 118.8 points per game (27th overall).
