<p>The Raptors will host Game 6 on Saturday, May 2 (10:30 AEST) and will feel confident based on the previous games that have taken place at the Scotiabank Arena in this NBA Playoff First Round series.</p><h2> </h2><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick: </strong>Raptors to win</p><p><strong>Value bet: </strong>Raptors in the handicap</p><p><strong>Long shot: </strong>Scottie Barnes 2+ Made Threes</p><h2> </h2><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>Although Cleveland lead the series 3-2, each of the wins have been made by that game’s host team.</p><p>With Game 6 being played in Toronto, they’ll be hoping that this is a trend that remains. Of course, if it doesn’t, the Cavaliers are going through to the next round, where they could meet either the Orlando Magic or Detroit Pistons.</p><p> </p><p>When looking at what’s happened so far, it’s clear Toronto may feel they’ll have a good chance of winning, as the margins at home have been relatively sizable:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Game 1: Cavaliers won 126-113 in Cleveland</li><li>Game 2: Cavaliers won 115-105 in Cleveland</li><li>Game 3: Raptors won 126-104 in Toronto</li><li>Game 4: Raptors won 93-89 in Toronto</li><li>Game 5: Cavaliers won 125-120 in Cleveland</li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>The Raptors are considered the underdogs in the betting odds prior to Game 6, but we think this means there’s <strong>value worth exploring in them to win</strong>.</p><p>Indeed, the home team has won each of the Raptors' last 10 games, and with this game being all-or-nothing, we think this is a trend likely to remain.</p><p>In the <strong>handicap</strong>, the Raptors have covered the line in each of their last seven home games against teams that held a winning record.</p><p>With the line set at 4.5, we think there’s <strong>value in them being able to cover the spread</strong>, even if they are unable to win the game.</p><p>We think there might be some value worth exploring in the<strong> total points</strong> market.</p><p>The line has been set at 220.5, with four of the last five playoff games between the Cavaliers and Raptors at Scotiabank Arena have gone over the total match points line.</p><p>It’s a coin flip as to whether this happens again, with the odds the same for both, but we think the <strong>over</strong> is the most likely outcome.</p><h2> </h2><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba/detroit-pistons-at-orlando-magic-10419801">NBA Raptors vs Cavaliers betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>Our prediction is that the <strong>Raptors likely win </strong>as underdogs.
