In game six 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 (3-2) series advantage after blowing out the Raptors in game five.

Game six will be played on Friday, May 27th, at 8:30 P.M. Eastern Time.  “The Crowd” is projecting a final score of Cavaliers 101.4 – Raptors 98.6 with an over/under of 200.  The Vegas Line has a final score of Cavaliers 101 – Raptors 95 with an over/under 196.

Points allowed per game: Raptors 98.2 (3^rd) Cavaliers 98.3 (4^th)

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

Three Point Percentage: Raptors 37% (tied for 4^th) Cavaliers 36.2% (tied for 7^th)

Free Throw Percentage: Raptors 77.7% (12^th) Cavaliers 74.8% (21^st)

Field Goal Percentage Defense: Raptors 44.4% (11^th) Cavaliers 44.8% (14^th)

Turnovers committed per game: Raptors 12.1 (2^nd) Cavaliers 12.9 (8^th)

Turnovers forced per game: Cavaliers 12.9 (tied for 22^nd) Raptors 12.8 (tied for 24^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.  After scoring 58 points in the second half of game four and blowing out the Raptors by nearly 40 in game five, it appears the Cavaliers have made the necessary adjustments.  Game six will be a grind it out defensive minded battle which probably better suits the Raptors.  Lebron James has been historically good in close out games throughout his career.  I like the Cavaliers to win a close one Friday night and close out the series.
