Game 7 between the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers is upon us, and our same-game parlay is all in on the underdogs.
RJ Barrett will continue his strong play and help guide his team to cover a spread that’s much too big.

Our best Raptors vs Cavaliers SGP for Game 7
SGP leg #1: RJ Barrett Over 22.5 points
RJ Barrett finished with 24 points in Game 6, and he’s averaging 24.3 points per game overall in this series on 51% shooting. Including the final game of the regular season, Barrett has gone past this points prop number in five of his last seven outings.
With Immanuel Quickley sidelined, Barrett has attempted 19+ shots in each of his past four contests, and he can continue to hunt James Harden and Donovan Mitchell and bully his way into the paint.
SGP leg #2: Collin Murray-Boyles Over 6.5 rebounds
While Barrett is one of the keys for the Toronto Raptors offensively, Collin Murray-Boyles’ two-way impact is another big X-factor for the visitors.
CMB has grabbed at least seven rebounds in four of his last five outings, and he logged 40 minutes in Game 6 as the Raptors leaned into smaller lineups down the stretch.
He’ll see a similar workload in another do-or-die scenario, which will give him enough time to clear this line.
SGP leg #3: Raptors +8
Given the Cavs’ struggles to create good looks and Harden’s history in elimination games, this line is surprisingly high.
Toronto has covered the spread in the last four games of this series, and I expect Darko Rajakovic’s young core to bounce back faster following Friday’s slugfest.
Cleveland may have the best player in this series, but Toronto’s two-way play is good enough to keep it in just about every game with the Cavs. They can force Harden and Mitchell into bad shots, which will burn possessions for the home side.
