In December, the Raptors stunned the Heat by beating them 119-116 in Toronto, being underdogs by 4.5 points. Now in the rematch in Miami, the Heat, in the midst of a winning streak and beating the tough Cavaliers, seem to be the likely winners on Thursday and 10.5% favorites by the bookies.

On Monday, the Raptors accumulated 3 consecutive games losing by falling 113-108 in Toronto against the Knicks and the ghost of injuries does not give up on them, as for the second time this season Scottie Barnes suffered another injury, this time in his ankle after he had returned just 10 games ago from his orbital fracture. Barnes' numbers were good, even though he played fewer minutes than ever, but after his new injury, RJ Barret will once again be responsible for the offense and creation. In the loss against the Knicks, RJ Barret had 30 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

For the Heat, Tyler Herro is having a good season, averaging 24.2 points per game, while Butler is close to averaging 20 points per game.

Our Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

It seems that the Heat is slowly recovering from a slow start and is 5th in the Eastern Conference with a 12-10 record. Meanwhile, the unlucky Raptors, due to the injuries, will have to get used to playing and being effective without Barnes on the court. After stopping the Cavaliers by scoring 122 points against the Heat, making 16 three-pointers and having a biggest lead of 15 points, Miami appears well positioned to cover the spread on Thursday. Our prediction for Raptors vs Heat is: Heat -10.5.

Prediction:

 

Heat -10.5.
