What To Watch For
The Cavs enter the playoffs with expectations.
Cleveland returns to the postseason with a healthy core and home-court advantage to start the series. The midseason trades, namely for James Harden, have added an extra layer of urgency to challenge for a championship this year.
The matchup against Toronto will certainly test their depth and consistency early on.
If the Cavs advance, they move one step closer to a deep Eastern Conference run, and will play either the New York Knicks or Atlanta Hawks.
