We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers over-198.5 points: $550 to win $500

The last six times Cleveland’s over/under has been below 200, the Cavaliers have gone over. That trend covers four playoff games, including Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday.

I’m not convinced the Raptors are going to be able to hang around any better tonight than they did on Tuesday, when they lost by 31, though I feel the Cavs won’t be nearly as comfortable trying to cover minus-12 tonight. But what I’m more confident in is that we’re going to see enough offensive fireworks to send this thing over the total.

When it shifts to Toronto, the games will bog down some more, but tonight there will be points a plenty.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (47-40-2, $10,925), Bern (32-38, $7,175), Keefer (46-57-2, $4,990)
