Merrill has shown he can step up at home, averaging 11 points over his last five games in Cleveland. While his recent numbers against the Raptors might suggest a challenge, scoring 5.7 points at home against them isn't the full story. The fact is, he's been heating up, with an impressive hit rate of 8 out of his last 11 games. This matchup gives him a real chance to exploit Toronto's defensive lapses, and with the Cavs looking to solidify their home-court advantage, expect Merrill to play a pivotal role. With a projected output of 14.27 points and a solid hit rate backing him, betting on Merrill to go over 9.5 feels like a smart move. He's poised to shine when it counts.
