Cavs vs. Raptors 2018 live stream: Time, TV channel, and how to watch Game 1 online

Can the Raptors finally dethrone LeBron?

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors will play the first game of their second-round playoff series on Tuesday night in Canada. Though the Raptors are coming in as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, fans can’t feel easy about going against LeBron James in a playoff series.

In 10 postseason matchups, James has an 8-2 record against Toronto, sweeping the Raptors in the 2017 conference finals, and winning 4-2 in the 2016 conference finals. James has been invincible throughout.

In those 10 games, James averaged 30 points per game, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block, according to StatMuse. He’s shot 60 percent from the field, and 42 percent from three-point range. There’s been no answer at all for him.

Toronto will lean on its youth, particularly Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby to contain James, but that’s a tough ask. Fortunately for the Raptors, James is coming off a daunting seven-game series against Indiana he was tasked to work for most of.

Will fatigue and this year’s version of Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and a stacked bench finally be enough?
