Toronto Raptors vs Cleveland Cavaliers
The Toronto Raptors have been one of the more consistent teams in the Eastern Conference this season thanks to the improved play of DeMar DeRozan and the ability to keep Kyle Lowry on board. Toronto has a chance to pull within two games of the conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers with a win on Monday.

DeRozan leads the team in scoring this season with 22.9 points per game while Lowry isn’t too far behind at 20.6 points per contest. Jonas Valanciunas has been averaging a double-double for the Raptors and Toronto has two more players in double figures as well.
Cleveland has been in first place in the Eastern Conference for most of the regular season thus far, even without the presence of Kyrie Irving. The star point guard has managed to play only five games this season, all of which have come in the past two weeks and the Cavaliers are 4-1 with Irving in the lineup.
LeBron James is still the team’s leader and that won’t change for as long as he’s with the Cavs, or in the league, for that matter. He’s putting up a little over 25 points per game and is a strong MVP candidate. Kevin Love rounds out the big three and adds about 16 points per contest.
