Toronto Raptors

Projected Championship Odds: 4.4%
Vegas Odds: 75/1

The Toronto Raptors put up a valiant effort against the eventual champion Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, losing in six games, but they hope to get a chance at revenge this year.

Toronto is returning their core from a 56-win team last season and only made one key move, replacing the departed Bismack Biyombo with Jared Sullinger. Even with Sullinger ruled out for two to three months, the Raptors figure to be in the thick of things in the East but will have stiffer competition this year, including Boston within their own division.

Including the postseason last year, Toronto took four of nine against Cleveland, with the home team taking all but one of the games.
