NBA Betting – Will Bosh be ready for meeting with James, Cavs on Friday?

Toronto is moving up the NBA odds ranks, thanks mostly in part to their great record at the Air Canada Center, which is quickly becoming one of the toughest places to play in the NBA. The Raptors will welcome LeBron James and Cleveland to town on Friday, and they’ll hope that their star is back from an injury.

Cavaliers vs Raptors odds – Friday, February 26, 7:00 PM ET

The Cavaliers will play in Boston on Thursday night before heading to Toronto, but they did manage to end a three-game losing skid on Tuesday with a 105-95 win over New Orleans at home, and for once, LeBron James didn’t dominate the Cavs, at least in scoring. James, along with Shaquille O’Neal, had 20 points, but they were two of six Cavaliers to reach double digits in that category. James steered the offense with 13 assists, and the Cavaliers are more dangerous when the scoring is shared. James is a brilliant passer, and we all know he can get to the basket whenever he wants because of his insane mix of size and quickness.

The Raptors will hope that Chris Bosh is back in the lineup on Wednesday for their game with Portland, and the All-Star missed the two previous games with an ankle injury. The Raptors’ last game was a 109-104 win over Washington on Saturday, and six players reached double figures, led by Jarrett Jack with 23 points, along with eight assists. Andrea  Bargnani had 18 points, six boards and four blocks for the Raptors, and he has improved immensely in his post defense. The Raptors shot 52.1% from the field, and they were 26-of-32 from the foul line, while the Wizards were only 12-of-18.

US sportsbook odds (US sportsbook review) should favor the Raptors at home, even though they’ve lost eight of their last 10 against the Cavaliers. The Raptors beat the Cavaliers 101-91 in their season opener at home on October 28th, despite a triple-double from James, as Bargnani poured in 28 points, while Bosh added 21 points and 16 boards. The Raptors were 21-7 at home ahead of Wednesday’s game against Portland, and Bosh could play sparingly in that game as the Trailblazers could be without Marcus Camby, who would draw the assignment of guarding Bosh, and the Raptors will try to get out to a big lead to get their star some more rest. The Cavaliers could be fatigued after what should be a war in Boston on Thursday night on national television, then they have to travel to Toronto, while the Raptors have been home since last Saturday and have been able to rest up.
