Welcome to 'The Land'

Las Vegas - Checking in on the Cleveland/Toronto series tonight and expecting the Cavaliers to pick up the win and a 3-2 series advantage. The Cavs won the first two games at home, then left the country and wound up with two losses in Canada. But home cookin' is the most important dish on the table this evening. The Cavs have won 15 of the last 18 at home and should be able to handle a Raptors squad that comes to 'The Land' with a 3-11 record on the road since early March. Gimme the Cavaliers but on the money line plz.
