CAVS vs. Raptors: Review, odds, injury report, TV – Cleveland.com

Claveland, Ohio-an obstacle until All-Star festivities can begin.

Before Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobli and the entire CAVS coaching staff to touch San Francisco for the All-Star 2025 game, there was a trip to Toronto to take care of the business.

All the excitement surrounds the three All-Stars of CAVS, which compete in various events on Saturday. Garland in the 3-point race, trying to best perform Mitchell in the race last year. Mitchell and Mobles will participate in The Skills Challenge, hoping to recreate the success of Mobley and Team Cavs in 2022 when they won the whole event.

But not so quickly. To go there with high spirits, CAVS (43-10) have one last typo (19:30 east) before lifting.

Raptors will not turn easily – they come out of an inspired victory over 76ers and will look to carry this momentum forward. But they will have to do it on the second night on the back, shortened and exhausted.

RJ Barrett’s condition is in the air after missing the race on Tuesday with a concussion. The newly acquired Brandon Ingram, fresh from a three -year extension of $ 120 million, has not played since December 7, but reports have been observed after breaking up.

This leaves Scottie Barnes to carry the load, and while he has shown glossing this season, this is a high order against one of the best of the NBA.

Meanwhile, CAVS is a fine setting.

De’andre Hunter, fresh since the arrival of his commercial period, has already been thrown into the fire, stepping into the starting lineup, as the team is cautious with Max Strus’s ankle soreness. Strus is doubtful about the Wednesday match, which can mean another start for Hunter as it acclimates to the Kenny Atkinson system.

Although CAVs enter this match as a heavy favorita, they have never learned not to take an opponent slightly. Instead, they use these capabilities to pop up to command clients before transferring the focus to improving the concepts that Atkinson is precise, even in the lack of practice.

By testing these game speed schemes, CAVS integrates complex adjustments to muscle memory, ensuring that they become a second nature when the Pension arrives.
