NBA Playoffs
Heat at Raptors (-5, 189)
Toronto went 3-1 SU against Miami this season, including 2-0 at home. However, Miami beat Toronto 102-96 in Game 1 on Tuesday night in overtime. Off that loss, the Raptors are expected to bounce back with a strong effort, but Miami has been a different team since the All-Star break. The Heat had the most improved offense, and Toronto’s offense has been up and down the entire playoffs. Especially, Kyle Lowry who has shot just 30.6% FG (13.0 ppg) in the playoffs after shooting 42.7% FG (21.2 ppg) during the regular season.
Despite winning their series against Indiana, the Raptors were actually out-scored in those seven games. Toronto shared that feat with Portland, and the Trail Blazers have already lost Games 1 & 2 to a short-handed Warriors' squad. Miami might be the better team right now, but Toronto is in a good situational spot tonight.
