Donovan Mitchell averaged over three made 3-pointers per game in the regular season, and he\u2019s come out on fire in the playoffs, shooting 8-for-17 from beyond the arc in the first two games against Toronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though the Raptors finished the regular season fourth in opponent 3-point percentage, they have not had an answer for Mitchell in this series, as he\u2019s averaging 31.0 points per game while shooting over 55 percent from the field and 47 percent from 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The usage for Mitchell is huge (he has 20 or more shot attempts in each game), and he took at least seven 3s in each game in Cleveland. I think this line is a major discount in Game 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cavaliers vs. Raptors Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
Toronto simply hasn\u2019t had an answer for Cleveland\u2019s offense in this series, and Brandon Ingram has not been good enough as a 1B option to Scottie Barnes for the Raptors to compete.<\/p>\n
Toronto was just 22-30 against teams that were .500 or better in the regular season for a reason, and it lacks shot creation and 3-point shooting with Quickley banged up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Cavs are posting an offensive rating that is in line with Denver\u2019s league-leading mark from the regular season so far in the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Toronto was just 6-6 against the spread as a home underdog in the regular season, but I\u2019m throwing out the points in this matchup. The Cavs went 9-19 against the spread as road favorites, and even though they\u2019ve covered in back-to-back games, I could see this matchup being a little closer since it\u2019s a must-win for Toronto.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, I think Cleveland\u2019s offense is far too potent for a Toronto team that hasn\u2019t exactly shown that it deserved to be a No. 5 seed this season. I\u2019ll take the Cavs to win outright in Game 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
