Damon Jones scored 21 points for Cleveland, which leads the Central division by two games over Detroit and Indiana. Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Meanwhile, the Raptors will try to halt a six-game losing streak. They suffered a 101-96 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday in Salt Lake City.

Chris Bosh had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lead six Toronto players in double figures, but the Raptors dropped to 2-8 on the season.
