Cavs Take the North
The Cavaliers, a solid 52-30 team, roll into Toronto looking to cement their late-season surge. They’ve won seven of their last ten, their defense tightening up just when it matters. Toronto, meanwhile, limped to the finish line at 46-36, dropping four of their last five games.
The primary battle will be Jarrett Allen against the Raptors’ interior, a matchup he’s dominated at times this year. Donovan Mitchell’s scoring punch is too much for this inconsistent Raptors squad.
Cleveland wins, 115-108.
