## Resource

Cleveland’s playoff hopes hang in the balance as analysts predict a rough season, but don’t count them out—Mitchell and a healthy Harden still pack serious firepower. The real threat? Toronto’s revamped roster, now loaded with Kawhi Leonard, a healthy Quickley, and defensive anchor Allen Graves. Expect a brutal matchup with Peyton Watson guarding Leonard—and if the Raptors stay sharp, they could be Cleveland’s biggest obstacle to a deep run.
