KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: BACKCOURT: PG Kyrie Irving became an instant legend with his Finals-winning shot in Game 7 last year. While he didn't lack for confidence before, that added status will benefit a player who needs to play different roles at different times. SG J.R. Smith, too, is viewed through a new lens now that he's a champion. Smith came up huge for the Cavs in last year's Finals and hasn't put on a shirt since. SG Iman Shumpert really needs to improve his shooting. . . . FRONTCOURT: Basic knowledge of the human body tells us that SF LeBron James has to slow down sometime, but he's shown few actual signs of doing so. Continuing to rest him in the regular season would be very wise of coach Tyronn Lue. It's easy to forget how bad things got with PF Kevin Love last year, but we'll see if his defense on Steph Curry really did heal the situation. When it counts, C Tristan Thompson performs his low-post role to perfection. . . . BOTTOM LINE: With a full offseason as head coach of strategizing under his belt, Lue should be able to create a monster out of a group that few remember seemed lost at times last year. But don't be surprised if James sees more rest than ever.
TORONTO: BACKCOURT: PG Kyle Lowry looked like an improved player in every possible way last season in earning his way to a Third Team All-NBA nod. It's hard to believe that he's just now reaching his prime at the age of 30. SG DeMar DeRozan had a breakout season, too, finishing second in the Eastern Conference with 23.5 points per game. Local boy PG Cory Joseph is an elite backup point guard behind Lowry. . . . FRONTCOURT: C Jonas Valanciunas is one of the NBA's more underappreciated talents, likely because his post moves are a little old fashioned. The other possible reason is his not-so-good defense. The Raps drafted similarly tall C Jakob Poeltl to back him up, and he's at least interesting as a prospect. SF DeMarre Carroll missed most of his first season in Toronto with an injury, and his full-time presence will help on both ends of the floor. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Losing playoff stud Bismack Biyombo hurts, but Carroll was the team's big signing a year ago and adds incredibly valuable depth on the wing. If there's a drop-off here, it will be slight.
PREVIEW
Slumping Cavs meet Raptors for third time this season
 

TORONTO -- First place in the Eastern Conference will be at stake Monday night when the suddenly struggling Cleveland Cavaliers play the surging Toronto Raptors.

The Cavaliers (13-5), who have lost three in a row, still lead the Raptors (14-6), who have won six straight, in winning percentage, .722 to .700.

This will be the third of four meetings this season between the Eastern Conference finalists from last season and the second game at Air Canada Centre.

The NBA champion Cavaliers have won the first two meetings this season -- 94-91 on Oct. 28 in Toronto and 121-117 on Nov. 15 in Cleveland. The fourth game will be played April 12 in Cleveland.

"We played them twice already and it came down to the wire," said Toronto guard DeMar DeRozan, who scored 21 points Saturday night in the 128-84 win over the Atlanta Hawks at ACC. "It's fun when you go up against teams like that, so we're looking forward to Monday."

The Cavaliers did not play Saturday after losing to the Bulls in Chicago on Friday and to the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Thursday. The losses started Tuesday against the Bucks in Milwaukee.

The Cavaliers were outrebounded in all three losses, allowing a combined 176 points in the paint.

Forward LeBron James said the honeymoon after winning the NBA championship is over.

"You've got to play the game the right way," James said. "You've got to battle every night like we ain't won nothing. Last year is last year and, after ring night, it's over with.

"Now it's a new season and everybody is gunning for us every night and we have to understand that. The honeymoon stage is over and it's time to play some real ball and be physical, especially in the trenches. Giving up 78 points (in the paint on Friday) is ridiculous. We've got to man up. Everybody."

James has made a total of 20 turnovers himself in the past three games, including eight on Friday in nearly 45 minutes. He scored 27 points and distributed 13 assists against the Bulls. He has at least 13 assists in a game six times this season.

James played so much from necessity.

"Right now, we're using LeBron way too much," Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. "When we have games like (Friday) and we're not clicking on all cylinders and he has basically to make every play -- Kyrie (Irving) wasn't on his game (Friday) like he usually is -- LeBron had the ball in his hands as much as he did, that's what we had (to do) to try to win the game."

The Cavaliers' faltering bench is expected to receive some help Monday when guard/forward Mike Dunleavy returns after missing the previous two games under concussion protocol.

The shooter was injured Tuesday in Milwaukee but showed no signs of a concussion until Thursday.

Defense, however, is the key. "I've got to come up with some better schemes or something," Lue said. "It's not just schemes, it's better one-on-one defense."

The Raptors are coming off the largest winning margin (44 points) in franchise history after outscoring the Hawks 42-14 in the fourth quarter on Saturday.

The Raptors have been facing a string of teams that are either struggling or without key players, or both.

Kyle Lowry, who scored 17 points and added eight assists and eight rebounds on Saturday, was asked if the game against the Cavaliers would provide a test for the Raptors.

"I don't think it's a test," the point guard said. "You all asked me that the first game of the season that we played them. I think it's just another regular-season game for us and a team that we always want to be better than. But we want to be better than every team in the NBA at the end of the day."

The Cavaliers are 4-3 on the road this season and the Raptors are 8-3 at home.

James averaged 24.5 points, .548 shooting (17 of 31), 8.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists in the first two games against the Raptors.
