Cleveland @ Toronto

What you should know

The Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers meet at Scotiabank Arena on October 19 at 7:30 p.m. ET to kick off their 2022 season. While Toronto wasn’t exactly the front runner last season, they ended the year with a winning record of 48-34. Cleveland is essentially in the same boat, having finished its senior year 44-38.

A few stats from last season to keep an eye on: The Raptors were the second best steals per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season averaging 8.99. Less enviably, the Cavaliers struggled with turnovers, as their opponents averaged 8.4 steals per game (the third most in the league). In other words, they have to work extra hard to take care of the ball.

Scoring is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close game. We’ll see if the game is as close as the odds makers are expecting, or if either of these teams has a surprise blowout in their wake.
