Odds Outlook: Raptors are heavy underdogs ahead of Game 5 vs. the Cavaliers

In a sense, the Toronto Raptors have always been underdogs. Stationed north of the border in what was perceived as basketball Siberia for decades, the Raptors have finally gained the respect of the NBA in the Eastern Conference finals after topping the Cleveland Cavaliers twice at home.

It shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that the Raps remain huge underdogs as the series shifts back to Northeast Ohio. According to our NBA odds page, the Dinos have opened as 10-point dogs for Game 5.

Based on recent performance alone, I'm going to assume they won't have a problem with that.
