The Edge

Cleveland's elite road ATS record, superior efficiency, and Toronto's injury attrition give the Cavaliers a credible edge to cover -3.5 in a series they already lead, but Toronto's home strength and Cleveland's recent ATS fade keep this a LEAN rather than a PICK.

Key Factors

Cleveland's road ATS record is elite at 26-15 (.634), the single strongest ATS split in this dataset
Cleveland outpaces Toronto in Net RTG (4.0 vs 2.8), Off RTG (116.3 vs 113.0), and eFG% (56.1 vs 54.6)
Cleveland won Game 5 head-to-head 125-120 just two days ago and leads the series 3-2, carrying momentum into this elimination game
Toronto is without Immanuel Quickley (OUT, season) and Brandon Ingram is day-to-day — methodology notes day-to-day on game day usually means out, a potential 3-5 pt line swing
