The Toronto Raptors travel home for a meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The pregame narrative: It will be the Raptors’ second game in as many nights and I’m fading them once again. This +390 SGP also includes prop picks on Evan Mobley and Ochai Agbaji.
Check out my Cavaliers vs. Raptors same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 12.
Cavaliers vs. Raptors predictions
Parlay: Cavaliers -10.5 | Mobley 18+ points | Agbaji 4+ rebounds (+350)
Cavaliers -10.5 (-200): I faded Toronto on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers and it blew up in my face, ruining my parlay.
But I won’t let that deter me from doing it again against a much superior Cleveland side.
The Cavaliers are 43-10 overall and 18-6 on the road.
Cleveland covered this spread in one of two meetings with Toronto this season. However, the most recent 132-126 win on Jan. 9 was against a rare healthy Raptors roster.
That shouldn’t be the case on Wednesday as Brandon Ingram, Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett all missed yesterday’s contest with injuries.
Even though there’s no injury report for Toronto at the time of writing, Michael Grange recently reported that Ingram was about a month away, while Poeltl (hip) and Barrett (concussion) have missed the last handful of games.
The Cavaliers are the much better team on more rest. No need to overthink this one.
SGP legs
Mobley 19+ points (-118): The 23-year-old power forward is showing off his offensive development this season.
Mobley has always been a good defender but his scoring has seen huge improvement. For the No. 1 seeded Cavs, he is averaging 18.7 points on 56.9% from the field and 38.1% from deep.
That’s incredible efficiency from all spots on the floor.
Plus, he’s simply on fire right now. He’s scored 27-plus points in three straight games and he’s cleared this mark in four of his last five.
In two games against the Raptors this season, Mobley has scored 20-plus in both contests, averaging 23.0 points.
It’s hard to say for sure with no injury report but I’m assuming Poeltl will be out again. If that’s the case, Mobley should feast but he’s capable of clearing this modest total with Poeltl in the lineup, too.
Over the last 15 days, the Raptors have allowed the fifth most points to opposing PFs (25.1), per Fantasy Pros.
Agbaji 4+ rebounds (-159): With all the injuries, Agbaji has found himself in a starting role once again.
And he’s been productive with the opportunity. He’s grabbed four-plus rebounds in three straight games as a starter.
Toronto has relied on Agbaji to start often this season with injuries continuously being a concern.
In 37 starts, he’s averaging 3.9 rebounds in 30.1 minutes of action.
