Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors — Game 6 Preview
Cleveland holds a 3-2 series lead and is one win away from advancing, but they have to do it in Toronto on a night when the Raptors are battling a significant injury report. Donovan Mitchell has been the best player in this series, averaging 27.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game while hitting at least three three-pointers in four of the five games. RJ Barrett has given Toronto 24.4 points per game as the one fully healthy star the Raptors can count on, but with Immanuel Quickley ruled out and both Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes dealing with physical ailments heading into Game 6, the Cavs carry a significant talent advantage at Scotiabank Arena tonight.
Cleveland Cavaliers lead the series 3-2.
