Raptors Expect New Faces to Debut vs Cavaliers: Where to Watch, Injury Reports, & More

The Toronto Raptors will be right back at it Saturday night when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town for a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Scotiabank Arena.

Where to Watch

TSN and the FAN 590 will air the game in Toronto. Bally Sports Ohio and Newsradio WTAM 1100 will broadcast for Cleveland.

What to Watch For

• The Raptors should have Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji ready to make their debut against the Cavaliers. For Olynyk, it's a return home and an opportunity to provide some veteran leadership and much-needed three-point shooting for a young Raptors team. Agbaji will see rotation minutes as a defense-first point-of-attack defender off the bench for the Raptors.
• Toronto needs more offense from Scottie Barnes who at times relies too heavily on his playmaking chops. While his passing skills are impressive, the Raptors need him looking to score more often. He seems to fade in and out of games far too often.
• Without OG Anunoby around anymore, Toronto doesn't have an obvious defender for Donovan Mitchell. Barnes has shown he's a better help defender than an on-ball defender and it'll be worth monitoring how Toronto tries to slow one of the craftiest guards in the NBA.

Injury Reports

Toronto has yet to release its injury report but the Raptors should be at or near full strength.

The Cavaliers will be without Tristan Thompson (suspension) and Ty Jerome (ankle surgery).

Game Odds

The Raptors are -8.5 point underdogs with a win probability of 26.3%. The total for the game is 228.5.
