Latest Odds : Raptors -12.5 Total 206
I think I have learned my lesson on backing the Cavaliers but if you dig deep they have actually been better lately ATS then the Raptors who are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games where the Cavaliers are 5-5 ATS last 10.
Raptors come in rested and ready for the Cavaliers after just beating the Pacers in Toronto. The Cavaliers come in off a 110-99 game to the Hornets where they made a late run their and just could not get it done. This will be the last home game for the Raptors before hitting the road over Christmas so I think the Raptors will want to handle their business Friday night.

Cavaliers have really been injury plagued this season weather it's Kevin Love and his left foot or Tristan Thomson and his sprained foot or even Matthew Dellavedova Cavaliers have serious depth issues.
Raptors should have Kyle Lowry back Friday and the line basically tells you that they are expected to be without Serge Ibaka but that should not really be much of a factor in the final score. Clarkson should return for the Cavs Friday but I have my doubts on him being 100% healthy.

Raptors should get to see more of Norman Powell in this game against the slumping Cavaliers as the Raptors look to get him some more game action since returning to the lineup for the first time since November the 5th when he went down with a shoulder injury. Raptors are deep and very talented and will be looking to send a statement to the league on Friday night and also to give a gift of a blowout win to the fans. Raptors will win this game and cover with ease 112-85.
