Toronto was on the second leg of a back-to-back and came into the game hobbling without a full lineup. The All-Star break could not come at a better time for the Raptors who have Brandon Ingram out with an ankle injury and Jakob Poeltl out with a hip injury. There is no timetable for their return and their absence was felt Wednesday night.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are still rolling as one of the best teams in the NBA, but they also are dealing with injuries as the All-Star break nears. The Wine and Gold currently have two players already ruled out for their matchup against the Toronto Raptors and two more key rotation players who are questionable (as of Tuesday night).

Donovan Mitchell scored 21 points and the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 131-108 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight victory and eighth in the last nine games
