This year’s Eastern Conference finals has definitely been a tale of two cities. In the games in Cleveland, the Cavaliers have won three times by a combined total of 339-251. The smallest margin of victory for the Cavs has been 19 points (Game 2), and they led by 40 points going into the fourth quarter of Game 5. In Toronto, though, the Raptors have won two games, by a combined score of 204-183. This makes it difficult to figure out what will happen Game 6 — but this is why we play the games.

Why Should You Bet on Cleveland?
The Cavaliers brought an even more physical game in Game 5 than what they brought in the first two games, and Cleveland showed, for once, a 48-minute commitment to defense and were rewarded by limiting the Raptors to 78 points. The Cavaliers pushed open a 34-point lead before halftime and kept their foot on the gas the whole rest of the way. Kevin Love had an immense game, scoring 25, and LeBron James added 23 — and both rested for the entire fourth period. If the Cavaliers can muster this sort of effort on the road, there won’t be a Game 7.
Why Should You Put Your Money on the Raptors?
The Cavaliers have lost all four games they’ve played in Air Canada Centre this season, counting regular season and playoff action. Bismack Biyombo was a beast in Games 3 and 4, pulling down a combined 40 rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas was just finding his way again after eight games out with an ankle sprain, and he will be able to give Biyombo more help in Game 6. The Raptors’ defense will be stouter at home, as it has been all season.
Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction
I like the Raptors to reassert themselves and take a Game 6 win. I’m predicting a 102-96 Toronto victory.
