The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to avenge two losses earlier this season at the hands of the Toronto Raptors. Both teams will be on the second leg of back-to-backs as the Raptors took care of business against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.
The Raptors have been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. They have elite impact numbers so far as they’re in the top six in offensive, defensive, and net rating. Those are typically the signs of a championship-caliber team. Whether or not they can continue that good play throughout the entire regular season remains to be seen. However, that doesn’t take away from the impressive start that they’ve had. Few people saw the Raptors being this good at the start of the season.
