RJ Barrett of Mississauga, Ont., was held out of the Raptors’ lineup after he sprained his right knee in Toronto’s 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

Barrett is second on the Raptors with 19.4 points per game this season. He’s also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Second-year guard Ja’Kobe Walter was slotted into Toronto’s starting lineup in Barrett’s place. He finished Monday’s game with five points and three rebounds.

Takeaways

Cavaliers: Head coach Kenny Atkinson deployed a zone defence for most of the first half that helped Cleveland stymie Toronto’s offence and lead by as much as eight points. Mitchell drained back-to-back threes with 5:13 left to play to pull the Cavaliers to within four.

Raptors: Ingram exploded for 15 points in the third quarter, hitting 32 points — his highest points total since he also scored 32 for the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 16, 2024 — before time had even expired on the period. His outburst was part of a dominant third quarter where Toronto outscored the visitors 31-22.

Key moment

Ingram drilled a 25-foot three-pointer with 1:20 left in the third to punctuate an 8-0 Toronto run.

Key stat

The Raptors are 12-0 when holding a lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Up next

Toronto: Hosts the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Cleveland: Visits the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
