Granted those victories were against the Hornets, Grizzlies, Hawks, and Wolves whereas they’ll be tested by the Raptors despite their injuries.
One big advantage for Cleveland will be rebounding given the Raptors will still be missing Marc Gasol and Pascal Siakam who are two of their rebounding talents. Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love (if he plays) could be a key to the Cavaliers trying to steal a game in the 6ix.
In the win over the Wolves Thompson pulled down 15 rebounds and the Cavs outrebounded Minny by a huge margin (61-39). Darius Garland and Collin Sexton each scored 18 points and Kevin Porter Jr. added 10.
On the season the team leaders are Collin Sexton scoring (17.9), Darius Garland for assists (2.9), and Cedi Osman for steals (1.0). Tristan Thompson leads three stat categories including rebounds (10.1), field goal percentage (50.3%) as well as blocks (1.0).
Although Kevin Love sat the last game nursing a hip contusion he is expected to play in Toronto. Dylan Windler is out with a left tibial stress reaction to his shin that will keep him out of the lineup until the New Year.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors had a tough week losing two games they feel they should’ve won to the Pacers and Thunder with both games coming down to the clutch and whistles playing a factor.
To that end, Nick Nurse hasn’t been happy with the whistle who ignored the Chris Paul travel/double dribble late in the match Sunday which ultimately cost Toronto the game. Nurse picked up his league-leading eighth technical in the game versus the Thunder.
Serge Ibaka led the Raptors with a 12 point 14 rebound double-double while Lowry and Fred VanVleet each scored 20. Patrick McCaw (13) and Terence Davis (11) were the other double-digit contributors.
Pascal Siakam (groin), Norm Powell (shoulder), Marc Gasol (hamstring) have all missed five games and remain out. Dewan Hernandez (ankle) missed the last five games while Matt Thomas (broken finger) are both out as well.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
OG Anunoby is in an offensive slump likely due to playing a bigger role defensively without Siakam in the mix. but facing the Cavaliers it will give him an opportunity to break out. In their last meeting, Anunoby posted 12 points and nine rebounds.
