The current betting odds have the Raptors listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Raptors haven't really been that great to start the season and they are dealing with a lot of injuries to their key players now but they are going to be at home here where they usually play a much better game and with all of the starters that they have out for this game it gives them a bit of an advantage being at home in this game. The Heat haven't been that great to start the season this year either and they have been terrible in their road games at 1-3 this season. This is also going to be a big game for the Raptors with former teammate Kyle Lowry coming back to Toronto so they will have some extra motivation to get up for this game. The Raptors play a very good game at home as they can control the game with their defensive play and they move the ball around a lot on the court making it difficult to predict where they are going with the ball. The Raptors will come to play here at home and they will feed off the energy in the crowd to win this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Raptors to cover the spread in this game.
