Toronto Star

Game day: Cleveland Cavaliers at Raptors

-

AIR CANADA CENTRE Tipoff: 7 p.m. TV: Sportsnet One Radio: Sportsnet Fan 590 Probable starters Cleveland: Kyrie Irving, JR Smith, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson. Toronto: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRo- zan, DeMarre Carroll, Pascal Siakam, Jonas Valanciuna­s.

Key matchup: LeBron James vs. DeMarre Carroll

Let’s make this clear right off the bat: No one stops James by himself. Carroll, however, relishes the chance to go against the top players in the game. That list includes James.

Need to know: James had a tripledoub­le when Cleveland opened the season by beating New York on Tuesday night . . . There’s a chance the injured Lucas Nogueira will be available for the Raptors . . . This is the first of four meetings between the teams this season; is it too early to start thinking about tiebreaker­s? Up next: Monday, vs. Denver Doug Smith
