Toronto finds itself in the same situation as last year's playoffs when it lost the first two games to Cleveland on the road before coming home to win two straight. DeMar DeRozan is ready to break out with a big game after scoring only five points in Game 2. Jonas Valnciunas came off the bench to score 23 points and Cory Joseph added 22 points, but the Raptors were only 5-for-17 from three-point range. The first two games went OVER easily and four of the last five meetings have also gone OVER. The Cavaliers have given up an average of 110.5 points their last 10 games. Cleveland is 20-8 to the OVER when playing on one day of rest and 34-16-1 OVER against Eastern Conference teams. The Raptors have soared OVER nine of their last 11 home contests and 16 of their last 21 against teams with .600 or better winning percentages. Play the Raptors and the OVER.
