INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- There's no using tonight's Cavaliers-Raptors game to determine how the three-time conference champs match up with East-leading Toronto.

LeBron James said he already knows where the two teams stand.

"They're in a better place than we are right now because they've had more consistency and they've had their guys in the lineup for the majority of the year," James said after the Cavs' morning workout. "So, they know what they want to accomplish. They know who they are at this point in the season. Obviously, you guys know about us, we're still trying to figure that out."

The Raptors lead the East by five games over Boston and have won 19 of their last 21.

The Cavs, who are in third, are 11.5 games behind Toronto. Cleveland would have to win all 12 of its games and the Raptors lose their remaining 11 for the Cavs to catch them.

That's not going to happen.

The Cavs are fighting for seeding -- they're only 4.0 games up on eighth-place Milwaukee. They tore up their roster on Feb. 8 (nearly a month after the Raptors handed them their worst loss this season, a 34-point drubbing). The Cavs haven't played a game with their full roster since because of injuries. Coach Tyronn Lue is gone for now, nursing himself back to health. Kyle Korver's brother died Tuesday.

"What is known is I'll be available, so we've got a chance," James said, referring to the playoffs and the Cavs' quest for a fourth straight Finals. "And I know the rest of the guys that's available is gonna be ready for whatever challenge we get for the rest of the regular season going into the postseason, so, that's all you can ask for."

Cleveland is 15-6 against the Raptors dating to December of 2014, counting playoffs, and 8-1 at The Q. Those records include the Cavs' four-game sweep of Toronto in the second round last season and six-game triumph in the 2016 Eastern finals.
