KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: GUARDS: DeMAR DeROZAN has evolved from raw athlete into dangerous scorer. He gets to the line frequently enough that he's virtually guaranteed a 20-PPG average . . . There's some long-term worry with KYLE LOWRY. His stocky body type leaves little room for error on those contested threes he hits, and there's some question of motivation now that he's been paid. But he was so good last season, that the chances of a fall-off seem low . . . Along with being the primary back-up at point guard, GREIVIS VASQUEZ will play alongside Lowry at times to take ball-handling pressure off of him . . . LOUIS WILLIAMS should be closer to 100 percent in his second season off ACL surgery, though he's looking at a fourth guard role in Toronto. FORWARDS: AMIR JOHNSON will lead the rotation at the 4, providing rim protection, rebounding and hustle baskets . . . He's streaky, but uber dunker TERRENCE ROSS is reinventing himself as a three-point shooter . . . Stretch 4 PATRICK PATTERSON has added a corner three to supplement a below-the-rim game . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH's spastic style is a thing of beauty . . . JAMES JOHNSON returns to Toronto. He's more versatile than his doughy frame would suggest . . . Undersized big CHUCK HAYES will throw his weight around for 15 minutes a night . . . Draft night stunner BRUNO CABOCLO is likely headed for the D-League . . . Ditto DeANDRE DANIELS . . . Not too long ago multiple teams fought over LANDRY FIELDS, but those days are long gone. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS still has to add some nuance to his game (such as making physical contact with a defender when he sets a screen) if he's going to get full-time minutes. But the big upside is still there . . . LUCAS NOGUEIRA, a 2013 first-rounder picked up from Atlanta, gives them a rim protector . . . GREG STIEMSMA was added in early September to provide depth at the center position.
CLEVELAND: GUARDS: KYRIE IRVING will play off the ball more. With defenses keying on LeBron James, Irving should become a more efficient scorer . . . DION WAITERS will start for the Cavaliers at shooting guard. He shows flashes of brilliance on offense, but like Irving, doesn't play defense . . . MIKE MILLER reunites with James as a part-time floor spacer . . . JOE HARRIS' deep shooting makes him a possible long-term replacement for Miller. FORWARDS: LeBRON JAMES is the MVP favorite. He'll fill up the stat sheet while having these Cavaliers in a position to win every single night . . . KEVIN LOVE is one of the game's premier power forwards. He should have plenty of open looks this season, as he plays off of James. He'll also rack up rebounds . . . TRISTAN THOMPSON's switch from shooting left-handed to righty last season went well. He's a solid two-way player who should see time at center as well . . . SHAWN MARION will be a swiss-army knife off the bench for the Cavs. He can do a little bit of everything and will allow James to get a little rest this season. . . JAMES JONES followed James to Cleveland. He'll see minutes in a handful of games as a three-point specialist. CENTERS: ANDERSON VAREJAO stayed relatively healthy last season, and the Cavs will need him considering their thin rotation up front. He never developed much of an offensive game, but his energy, defense and rebounding fit well alongside Thompson and James.

Because of this information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game.

*Raptors-Cavaliers Preview* ===========================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Toronto (10-2) at Cleveland (5-6), 7:30 p.m. EDT

The Toronto Raptors unexpectedly own the best record in the Eastern Conference, while LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers' surprise start is more disappointing than anything else.

Fresh off their best offensive showing of the season, the visiting Raptors will try to deal James and the Cavaliers a fourth straight loss Saturday night.

Toronto (10-2) won the Atlantic Division for just the second time last season while posting a franchise-record 48 wins, but it was ousted in seven games by Brooklyn in the opening round of the playoffs.

So far, the Raptors look more than capable of taking the Atlantic again, already leading the second-place Nets by five games.

The Raptors concluded a 6-1 homestand by routing Milwaukee 124-83 on Friday night. Toronto led by as many as 52 points, setting a club record, while finishing with a season high in scoring and 3s with 15.

Coach Dwane Casey was thrilled his team didn't overlook the Bucks with the impending trip to Cleveland looming.

"I thought the mental focus was great," Casey said. "Nobody in that locker room was even talking about (Saturday) night. If we're going to be an elite team or grow to be an elite team in this league, we've got to make sure we care of business and take care of what's in front of us."

The Cavs haven't done that at all lately, averaging 88.3 points during their skid. They had previously won four straight while scoring 119.3 per game.

While Toronto's latest effort was their best this season, Cleveland's may have been its worst.

The Cavaliers hit 36.0 percent from the floor - 6 for 27 from beyond the arc - while falling 91-78 at Washington on Friday in their lowest-scoring game of the season.

Their effort was also called into question - James was slow to get back on several occasions in the fourth quarter, and he conceded it's "never a good example" for a team leader. Asked about his team's body language, he said flatly: "It's not good."

"It's something we've got to work on. We understand that. It starts with me, for sure. It's something I'll always work on, too," James said. "It trickles down to everyone else."

James has struggled at times in his first season back in Cleveland, but he's been especially subpar over the last three games. The superstar forward is averaging 19.7 points while shooting 39.3 percent from the field after scoring 31.6 per game and hitting on 54.0 percent over the previous five contests.

He had 31.0 points per game while connecting on 61.3 percent of his field goals to lead Miami to a four-game season series sweep of Toronto in 2013-14.

Kyrie Irving averaged 18.0 points and 7.3 assists in his last three meetings with the Raptors, but shot only 37.0 percent. The All-Star guard has been a consistent presence at the point for the Cavs, averaging 23.5 points and shooting 48.6 percent from 3-point range his last six games.

He matched James' 22 for the team lead Friday despite going 0 for 6 from beyond the arc.

While Cleveland tries to bounce back, it'll need to be aware of Lou Williams, who scored a season-high 22 points while draining 5 of 7 3s Friday. Williams picked up DeMar DeRozan, who struggled to a season-low seven points while missing 7 of 8 from the floor. The guard totaled 48 points over the two previous games.

DeRozan, though, was limited to 13 in a 102-100 loss at Cleveland on March 25 in the most recent game between the teams.
