Preview of the Matchup
This encounter marks the second clash of the season between the Raptors and Cavaliers, following their initial meeting on October 31 during the NBA Cup. Toronto emerged victorious in that matchup, and they now aim to double their wins against Cleveland this season.
The Cavaliers will be without key contributor Darius Garland, whose ongoing toe injury has been a persistent issue. This absence may hinder Cleveland’s performance, but the Raptors are also facing their own injury challenges. The status of Mamukelashvili, Agbaji, and rookie Murray-Boyles remains uncertain as they are all listed as questionable.
Despite the challenges, the Raptors are fueled by the confidence gained from their earlier win against the Cavaliers. A victory in Cleveland would not only add to their win column but also secure a winning record for their road trip, setting a positive tone as they head into their final game.
However, the Cavaliers are known for their resilience, and this game will demand the same level of defensive tenacity that the Raptors displayed in their previous matchup. As both teams prepare to clash, the dynamics of injuries and the quest for road success add layers of intrigue to what promises to be a competitive contest in Cleveland.
