Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow<\/a><\/p>\nMeanwhile, the Heat are in the No. 10 spot in the East after they made the playoffs from the same spot in the 2024-25 season. Erik Spoelstra\u2019s group has won just three of its last 10 games, falling behind multiple teams in the Southeast Division.<\/p>\n
This is the first of two final meetings between these teams, as they\u2019ll meet again on Thursday (also in Toronto).<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of the odds, my favorite player prop and a prediction for help you bet on this Eastern Conference clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami plays at the No. 1 pace in the NBA, so even though Jaquez may see a few less shots, he still should be in the mix to clear this line.<\/p>\n This season, the Heat youngster is taking a career-high 12.2 shots per game and is paying it off by shooting 50.1 percent from the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n Heat vs. Raptors Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Miami is one of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA and is No. 1 in the league in pace, but it\u2019s facing a Toronto team that wants to play much differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Raptors are 22nd in pace and are in the top-10 in the league in opponent points per game, relying on their defense to keep them in a top-six spot in the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n While Miami is averaging over 238 combined points per game, it has not found that same success against Toronto. The Raptors held the Heat to 96 and 91 in their two meetings this season, winning both of those games by double digits.\u00a0<\/p>\n On top of that, the Raptors have the second-best UNDER record in the league, hitting it in 61.5 percent of their games (48 of 78).\u00a0<\/p>\n This total has ticked up to 240.5, which I think is a way too high. These teams have combined for just 202 and 203 points in their previous meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: UNDER 240.5 (-108 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Find Peter Dewey’s\u00a0NBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
