The Cleveland Cavaliers’ ticket to Round 2 of the NBA Playoffs awaits north of the border when they visit the Toronto Raptors in Game 6.

Cleveland’s inside-out scoring is becoming too much for Toronto, which limps into Friday with serious injuries in the frontcourt. That means Evan Mobley can have his way inside while Donovan Mitchell continues to cash in from long range.
Here are my NBA picks and SGP predictions for Cavaliers vs. Raptors on May 1.
Our best Cavaliers vs Raptors SGP for Game 6
SGP leg #1: Cavaliers moneyline (-170)
The Cleveland Cavaliers are short road favorites for Game 6 and not only have the momentum edge but the health advantage.
The Toronto Raptors, who were already missing their starting point guard, could be down forward Brandon Ingram while star Scottie Barnes is limping through a quads injury. The Cavs just have too many weapons and close out the Raptors on their own turf.

SGP leg #1: Evan Mobley Over 16.5 points (-110)
Evan Mobley was the focus of the Cavs’ offense in Game 5, with the team making a focused effort to feed their big man in the second half.
He scored 16 of his final 23 points after the break and with those frontcourt injuries mounting for the Raptors, Cleveland goes right back to Mobley in Game 6. His projections call for 18 points, but I believe his ceiling is much higher.
SGP leg #1: Donovan Mitchell Over 2.5 threes (-140)
Donovan Mitchell is making Toronto pay from the perimeter. He knocked down three treys in Game 5 and has made at least three triples in four of the first five games of this series so far.

Cleveland is working the ball inside to their bigs and running a smaller lineup to promote spacing. Giving Mitchell room outside the arc keeps him hitting from distance Friday.
