Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Cavaliers Odds, Starting Lineup, Injury Report, Predictions, TV Channel for Mar. 24
By Mike Luciano
The Toronto Raptors have eight of their final 10 regular season gams at home, meaning they will need to turn Scotiabank Arena into a fortress once again in order to potentially move up in the pecking order. The latest Raptors odds give them a very good chance of taking down a conference rival.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are currently one spot ahead of Toronto in the Eastern Conference Standings, and this matchup could be one of the last remaining opportunities for Nick Nurse to make up some ground. Cleveland has won all three of their games against the Raptors so far.
However, with Jarrett Allen out due to an injury, Cleveland’s main interior presence will not be able to suit up against a team that lacks tremendous interior skill. If Toronto gets some positive injury news, a win could easily be achieved despite the Cavs’ skill.
Will the squad rebound from a tough loss to the Bulls by taking down Cleveland? Will the Cavaliers make it four wins in a row despite playing in this pivotal matchup without their star big in Allen?

Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Toronto might not have the height to match up with a healthy Cavaliers team, but facing off against an injured one might be all the leeway that Pascal Siakam needs to put in a dominant performance. Some timely 3-pointers and efficient finishing could spearhead the offense.
This game will come down to who wins the battle in the paint. If names like Precious Achiuwa and Scottie Barnes can dominate, Toronto has a good chance of pulling off the win. Failing to do so could result in another home loss.
