Two teams really struggling for form will face off on Tuesday evening’s NBA slate as the Miami Heat host the Toronto Raptors in South Beach. The Heat come into this contest sitting eighth in the East with a 15-14 record while the Raptors are above them in fifth place at 17-13. Check out our match prediction!
The Heat have really blown hot and cold this season. After a stretch which saw Miami win seven of eight games, they’ve now hit a terrible run of form and have lost seven of their most recent eight outings.
Most recently, the Heat travelled to the Big Apple to take on the Knicks in a classic Eastern Conference rivalry, but ultimately walked away with a 132-125 defeat. They’ve now lost their last two in a row and have dropped below the Cavaliers in the standings.
The Raptors are in somewhat of a similar boat. They came storming out of the gates to start the season, winning 14 of their first 19. Since then, however, they’ve cooled off. Toronto was most recently beaten 96-81 on the road by the 8-19 Brooklyn Nets for their second loss in a row.
The visitors are now on a run of only three wins in their last 11 games and now find themselves just four games above .500.

Our Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The Heat will be without Herro, Rozier, Jovic and Larsson, while the Raptors are missing RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl. Herro led Miami in scoring last season while Barrett is Toronto’s second highest scorer this year.
The absences only strengthen the idea that this game will be lower scoring, especially when factoring in the high level of play that these two defenses are capable of. The Raptors have the third-best 3PT defense in the league (33.9%) while Miami ranks sixth in that regard (34.4%). Our Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors prediction: under 228.5 points.If your team in the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
If you want to place a bet on the moneyline in the Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors game, then bet365 is the place to do it. If the team that you have bet on takes a 20-point lead in the game, then bet365 will pay your bet out as a winner. If your team goes on to lose, you are still a winner.
