Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Cavaliers Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Nov. 5
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors looked rudderless during a 1-3 start to the season, but thanks to some improved scoring from their stars, Nick Nurse and the rest of the group have managed to right the ship. Do the latest Raptors odds have this squad continuing their win streak?
To win their sixth consecutive game, the Raptors will have to take down the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even with Dean Wade in place of Lauri Markkanen, the combination of Wade, Jarrett Allen, and rookie star Evan Mobley enables the Cavs to start 3 players that are 6-10 or taller.
Against a Toronto team that does not have a player over 6-9, this should make for an interesting contrast in style. Watching two elite rookies in Mobley and Scottie Barnes go after it should be fun as well.
Will the Raptors use their smaller, positionless lineup to pull our a win, or will the Cavaliers end that winning streak based on their size and tremendous backcourt duo?

The over-under in this contest is 209.5, with the under coming in at -110 and the over also listed at -110. With both teams leaning on their defense, Vegas is expecting a tough, physical contest.

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Raptors might have difficulty scoring inside in this game, as a frontcourt led by Precious Achiuwa might have some issues navigating the forest created by Mobley and Allen. However, given how well Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby have been playing, a win should still be within sight.
Nurse needs an exceptional defensive performance from his team to corral Mobley and the backcourt combo of Darius Garland and Collin Sexton. If that goes as planned, this squad could move to 7-3 on the season while taking down one of the more intriguing young teams in the conference.
