Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors Live Stream and Start info

Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James and Kevin Love run down the court during a 2015 game.

The Toronto Raptors are trying to be a contending team in the Eastern Conference. The team fell short last year in the first round of the playoffs after raised expectations and now they are aiming to turn that around this year. The Raptors return home after a lengthy road trip in what is their fifth game back in Canada as they prepare to face off against a Cleveland Cavaliers team hit hard with injuries.

The Raptors are well aware the Eastern Conference goes through Cleveland they will get their first taste of getting past that on Wednesday night as Kyle Lowry and DeMarre Carroll prepare for the challenge. Currently sitting at 9-6, the Raptors have looked strong this year coming back from a road trip where they went 2-3. The last time these two teams played each, Cleveland had their way with the Raptors. In the past three games with these two teams, Cleveland has averaged 110 points, winning all three while LeBron James averaged 29.3 points and 11.3 assists.  Everyone knows that cannot happen again as head coach Dwane Casey hopes the team does not get ahead of themselves.


"It's a very good litmus test," Casey said, via ESPN.com. "They're playing good basketball right now. It seems like it's another road game where you're in town and then back out of town, but it's what the schedule gives us and we have to come prepared."

The Raptors are dealing with injuries right now. Their backcourt will have some question marks as Jonas Valanciunas fractured his hand during the road trip. That will add pressure to Lowry and DeMar DeRozan to make up in shooting while Luis Scola and Bismack Biyombo handle the frontcourt for the Raptors.

The Cavaliers are dealing with injuries right now to some of their biggest stars. Timofey Mozgov is out with a shoulder injury to pair with the issues to Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert. Mo Williams has also been dealing with leg issues. That has not necessarily hurt the Cavaliers from getting wins this season as both James and Kevin Love continue to thrive on the court. Meanwhile Matthew Dellavedova has been doing a solid job as the starting point guard, getting 25 assists in three games.

UFC 195: Lawler vs Condit Live Stream Fight and TV Info

UFC’s welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will put his title belt on the line when he faces former WEC king Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 195 on Jan. 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Fight Info: UFC 195 Lawler vs Condit. Sat, Jan 02, 10PM/7PM ETPT.

UFC will kick off 2016 with a showdown between Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Lawler (26-10 MMA, 11-4 UFC). Condit, who is coming off an impressive victory over Thiago Alves in May, shrugged off the injury layoff he suffered in March 2014 that sidelined him for a year.

“Out of 12 or 13 years of competing professionally this was my first major injury, my first major layoff,” Condit told The Sun. “If you’re gonna step in there and fight at a very high level professionally you’re bound to get injuries, you’re bound to get layoffs. It comes with the territory.”

Condit, who is the underdog heading into the UFC 195 main card, is convinced he is in top form to take the welterweight gold from Lawler. However, the “Natural Born Killer” also believes his fight against Lawler could be his last shot to win a title, although he insists he is “100 percent” focused.


Meanwhile, Lawler, who is coming off one of the best fights of all time as he defeated Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 in July, is not stressing about the challenge of defending his title against Condit. While Lawler acknowledges Condit’s skills, “Ruthless” was clear that he is ready to take on any fighter put in front of him.

“You know I don’t worry about who they’re putting in front of me,” Lawler said, reports MMA Junkie. “Why would I worry? Why not? Why this guy? That’s just nonsense for me to waste my energy.”

UFC 195 will also feature a heavyweight clash in the co-main event as Stipe Miocic takes on Andrei Arlovski in a potential title elimination.

Giants vs Redskins Live Stream Online

Here's how bad the NFC East is: On Sunday, when the .500 Giants face the sub-.500 Washington Redskins, first place will be at stake.

"It's a one-game season," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. "And if we have any desire at all to play 17, 18 or 19 games, we have to take care of business on Sunday. That's the biggest, most important thing. So we've got to get their best effort, physically and mentally."

This is like two hockey players auditioning for a tooth whitening commercial. But don't tell the Giants. They'll gladly accept a trip to the postseason no matter how ugly it gets.

"It's a lot of fun," Gants coach Tom Coughlin said, "compared to where we've been the last couple of years."

Time: Sunday, 1 p.m.

Site: FedEx Field, Landover, Md.

TV: Fox

Line: Giants by 2.5

Livestream: NFL GamePass

If the Redskins (4-6) can beat the visiting Giants (5-5), the teams will be tied atop the decidedly mediocre division with five games left.

After Thursday's lopsided losses by the Philadelphia Eagles (4-7) and Dallas Cowboys (3-8), it's become a two-team race.

"Looking back, there were some games we wish we could get back," Giants linebacker Devon Kennard said. But at the end of the day what is behind us is behind us. And we're ready to move forward and finish the year right."

But so are the Redskins, who were not expected to compete for a division title, but have somehow steered through the division wreckage. Redskins QB Kirk Cousins has nine TD passes, no interceptions and a 122.6 passer rating at home.

"That's the guaranteed ticket to the playoffs ... to win your division," cornerback Will Blackmon said. "It's all-in, because you truly need it. Not that we don't need any other game. But you really need the divisional games to get in. So it definitely just has to be everyone's best effort. Even if guys don't even prepare well, just when we line up on Sunday, just go there and knock somebody out, dude."

Raiders vs Titans Live Stream TV

The Oakland Raiders head to Nashville this week, looking to end their three-game losing skid. But that run pales in comparison to how the Titans have fared at their home Nissan Stadium.

The Titans have lost ten straight home games, an embarrassing number dating back to last season. They’ve struggled in their first season with Marcus Mariota, and already saw head coach Ken Whisenhunt get axed midway through the season.

If the Titans have done one thing right all season, it’s pressure the quarterback. Heading into Week 12, the Titans are third in the NFL with 31 sacks. The problem is it’s been happening to them too, as Tennessee has surrendered 33 sacks this season. The defense will face their toughest task of the season, as Raiders QB Derek Carr has been sacked just 13 times, less than any QB in football.

Though both of these teams have rapidly fallen out of the playoff picture, breaking a losing streak is an important step for a young team. Both quarterbacks are growing, and Sunday is a glimpse into the future of the AFC.

Dolphins vs Jets Live Stream

With their backs against the wall, the (4-6) Miami Dolphins travel to East Rutherford, New Jersey, as underdogs versus a rather vulnerable (5-5) New York Jets team. However, if statistical trends and other mathematical information proves to be correct, the final meeting between the AFC East rivals could and will likely come down to the wire.

That’s because there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that this game will be a low-scoring affair, and thus, the visiting team will have a legitimate chance to pull off the upset. That notion is supported by point-differentials, along with combined point totals, which tell a very compelling story.

The first piece of information is the fact that they’ve combined to score under the projected point total the last five times they’ve played at MetLife Stadium. Also, suggesting that points will be at a premium is the fact that Miami and New York have scored fewer than the projected points in five of this franchise’s last six games against one another, regardless of where the games took place.

The second set of stats to consider is that the Dolphins are 5-2-1 in their last eight games played in the Big Apple. Also, the road team, which in this instance happens to be the Fins, come in with a 6-1 record in seven games. But, not everything is peaches for the Floridians in the long haul, as the Dolphins have earned a 9-24-1 record in their last 34 clashes against Gang Green.

But make no mistake about it, considering the way their first meeting of the season went, there are plenty of stats to suggest the Jets just might win by at least five points. Pro-Jets aficionados would be glad to know that Gang Green comes in with a 4-1-1 record in their last six games played against the AFC East and a 5-2-1 mark in their last eight games after allowing more than 350 total yards.

As far as how Miami has performed, there’s a surprising air of optimism for the Dolphins. One of the reasons is because the Fins are 5-0 in their last five games played in Week 12, and that they’re 5-2 in their last seven contest after accumulating less than 250 total yards in the previous game.

Much like in the case of the Jets, there are also some problem areas for this club heading into this one. The fact that they are just 3-7 in their last 10 games after a loss is definitely a red flag. Not to mention Miami’s 2-5 record after the defense surrenders more than 150 rushing yards the week prior.

Want more reasons to stay away from Miami in this one? How about their 4-11 record in their last 15 games overall, 2-9 mark against the AFC conference, and of course, the Dolphins 1-5 performances in their last six games after scoring less than 15 points the week prior.

Dolphins vs. Jets NFL Week 12 Prediction: It’s no secret that neither one of these teams has exactly set the world on fire as of late. However, the fact that the difference in their first meeting was the outstanding play of Chris Ivory, and considering the fact that he has slowed down significantly, leads one to believe that the Dolphins are more than capable of going into MetLife Stadium and either stunning the Jets, or worst-case scenario lose by less than a field goal and a safety.
