In game three of the Eastern Conference Finals the one seed Cleveland Cavaliers will be on the road to take on the two seed Toronto Raptors.  The Cavaliers hold a (2-0) series advantage after blowing out the Raptors in each of the first two games.  Game two will be played on Saturday, May, 21^st at 8:30 P.M. Eastern Time.  “The Crowd” is projecting a final score of Cavaliers 102.1 – Raptors 97.9 with an over/under of 200.  The Vegas Line has a final score of Cavaliers 101.5 – Raptors 96 with an over/under 197.5.

Field Goal Percentage Offense: Cavaliers 46% (10^th) Raptors 45.1% (15^th)

Assists per game: Cavaliers 22.7 (tied for 13^th) Raptors 18.7 (29^th)

These teams are very evenly matched in most statistical categories with the Cavaliers holding the slight edge.  In the playoffs the Cavaliers are obliterating the competition with a perfect (10-0) record.  In each of the first two games the Cavaliers have won by double digits.  I expect the Raptors to be more competitive at home, but it looks like this series will end in a sweep.
