Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Game 5 Prediction

Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (8:30 PM ET). Line: Toronto Raptors (+10.5) at Cleveland Cavaliers (-10.5); total: 199.0 – view all NBA lines
 
Don't count out the Raptors just yet. Toronto put forth a huge performance in Game 4 to even their series with Cleveland at two games apiece. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan combined for 67 points to lead the Raptors to a surprise 105-99 victory. They're the first set of teammates to score at least 30 points and shoot at least 60 percent from the field in a meeting finals game since Dan Majerle and Charles Barkley made it happen for the Phoenix Suns within their 1993 series contrary to the Seattle SuperSonics.
 
It's back again to the drawing board for the beleaguered Cavaliers heading into Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. For the Cavs to regain momentum in this series, they should do a much better job with their execution down the stretch. They shot just 1-of-10 from the field and 1-of-8 from 3-point range in the last 4:11 of Game 4. LeBron James inexplicably took only one shot in the last 5:09 of Game 4.
 
The Cavs are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS in their last six home games against the Raptors. They are pegged at +170 to win this year’s NBA championship. Bet on Cleveland Cavaliers Minus the points.
