KEY MATCHUP
Green vs. Hood The Cavaliers have been struggling all season, but Hood is back from an injury and can provide some offensive spark every now and then. Green is one of Toronto’s top backcourt defenders and locking down Hood will be vital. NEED TO KNOW With Kyle Korver traded to Utah this week, J.R. Smith away from the team awaiting a trade and Kevin Love still injured and out for weeks, these are definitely not your LeBron James Cavaliers … That said, they did post back-to-back wins over Philadelphia and Houston last weekend and can’t be taken for granted … It’s their second meeting of the season. Toronto opened its season with a 116-104 victory over Cleveland … The Raptors have lost their last two regular-season games in Cleveland.
