CLE vs TOR Dream11: Cleveland Cavaliers play second of their four-game home run against the defending champions Toronto Raptors at Quicken Loans Arena, on Friday morning (IST).

They are 2-8 in the last 10 matches and lost the last game 111-125 at home against New Orleans Pelicans.

Toronto Raptors, on the other hand, are absolutely flying in the opposite direction as they boast the current second-best winning run in the entire league. The 130-114 win over Atlanta Hawks was their 8th successive win, and that run has propelled d the team into second place in the East.
