The Heat have some injury concerns coming into this clash with three Key Players, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebeyo and Goran Dragic all questionable coming into this clash. The Raptors are looking good in terms of injuries and will come into this clash full of confidence after their huge win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Prediction
Kyle Lowry came up big in his last game against the Lakers with 33 Points, 14 Rebounds and 6 Assists.
Lowry is in some form and will be very dangerous in this game if Goran Dragic does not suit up. The Heat will need their star players to suit up for this clash as the Raptors have solid contributors on all areas of the floor.
The Raptors look too strong in this clash and are playing confident basketball. Should get the win even if the Miami Heats star players suit up for this clash.
Also check the projected Game Total for this game as the combined average score in their last 3 encounters has been 206 Points. If it is high enough, the under may seem an attractive option.
Our Pick – Toronto Raptors (Win)
Player Prop – Kyle Lowry + 6.5 Assists
Lowry was awesome on the offensive end in his last game and may get some more attention which will force him to distribute and use his teammates in this clash. Lowry average 7.5 Assists for the season and has the likes of Siakam, Van Fleet and Gasol to help him rack up some assists.
