Best Bet: Cleveland -8.5 @1.44 (U.S: -227) – The Cavs are going for 10 straight post season wins and are in a severe win-now mentality. While the West could go down to a long series, the East is going to script at the moment.

The rest has definitely helped Cleveland, while not forgetting Kyrie and Love are providing some much needed assistance to The King.

Toronto looked and played like a team that had accrued 300 more minutes than any players on the Cavs lineup. Lowry was non existent on the offensive end, and will need to put up his regular season matchup numbers against the Cavs (30 ppg at 66%) to give the Raptors any chance.

Lebron is spurred by the chance at a legacy, and Steph Curry being labelled unanimously as the best in the game has also added fuel to his fire over the last few days. The King is on a mission, and although we have been doubters in the past when it comes to his performances at the pointy end of seasons, he just has a look in his eye that makes us think he finally has the Kobe killer mentality, when it matters. – WIN

Feeling Lucky: Over 198.0 @1.91 (U.S : -109) – The Cavs have scored over 100 points in all nine post season games which is good preparation for the Finals (should they make it). Cleveland are looking to bring scoring pain to any team in their way. – WIN

Feeling VERY Lucky: Patrick Patterson first basket @15.50 (U.S: +1450) – A definite long shot but could be a cheeky play after the Game 1 result. If the Raptors get the jump, could Lowry or DeRozan defer to the talls for the first hoop? – LOSS (DeMar DeRozan)
