They will travel north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors in a pivotal Game 6. Cleveland does have the luxury of hosting Game 7 at home if it were to get that far, but J.B. Bickerstaff and his team would certainly not be opposed to wrapping things up tonight.
Despite many writing the Raptors off early due to Cleveland’s star duo of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, Toronto has held its own this series. Tonight, they will look to continue the trend of the home team winning in front of their own crowd. One of the biggest question marks will be if Brandon Ingram can suit up for Toronto, since he left Game 5 early with a heel injury and was unable to return.
Cleveland’s key to the series has, without a doubt, been exploiting the Raptors’ lack of height. Evan Mobley has found great success during the series and has arguably been the Cavaliers’ most impactful player. In Game 5, Mobley found his way to 23 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks to help guide Cleveland to a narrow 125-120 victory. Harden has been turning the ball over more than his team would like to as of late, so if he can put his recent negatives behind him, Cleveland should have no trouble in becoming the first team to win an away game this series.
The winner of this series will play either the Detroit Pistons or Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, beginning around May 4.
