Heat vs Raptors Prediction
The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raptors have looked good in their games this season with their 43-35 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 21-17 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Heat have looked good in their games this season with their 41-37 record overall which has them right in the middle of the East. They haven't been a good road team though with their 16-22 road record this year. The Heat have had a lot of trouble in their road games this season and they have been a really up and down team all season. They are 4 games above .500 at the moment and have hovered right around that mark all year. They are off a win over the Wizards in their last one, but they haven't looked that good lately as they are 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Raptors are off a loss to the Celtics in their last one and they haven't looked any better lately either, going 4-6 in their last 10 games, but they will be looking to bounce back with the home advantage on their side. Both of these teams have already clinched a spot in the play-in tournament, but the Raptors are also on the cusp of one of the top 6 spots in the East, so they are going to bring their best effort here to try and avoid the play-in tournament. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We had a good day of practice coming off the disappointing [loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday]. And that’s what you want out of the group, particularly with everything we’ve gone through in these last ten games is just to focus on solutions and work to get better. And the approach was solid.” - Erik Spoelstra after his team’s win against the Wizards in their game on Saturday.
"It was a tight game, starting in the fourth quarter there. I thought their best players made the plays they needed. It was in isolation, it was in one-on-one. It was them knocking down some shots. I thought overall, we did a really good job guarding the 3-point line, and at the end there, it was their drives to the rim and us not doing a good enough job of containing those drives. We were trying to match up the right way with Queta to have more rebounding there, and try to keep match-ups.” - Darko Rajakovic after his team’s loss against the Celtics in their game on Sunday.
