The Heat are coming into this game with a 0-1 record overall and they are 0-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them as they still have a game against the Boston Celtics to be played on Friday night. They are entering this game off of a loss against the Chicago Bulls in their last game. Jimmy Butler led the team in points in that game with 24 while Tyler Herro was next on the team with 23 points. Kyle Lowry led the team in assists in that game with 4 while Bam Adebayo led the team in rebounds with 9. They were 46.3% from the field, 42.9% from 3-point range, and 78.6% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 108 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 116 PPG against them. The Heat have an ATS record of 0-1 this season and their O/U record is 1-0.

The current betting odds have the Heat listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Heat opened their season with a loss at home but they were playing against a very good Bulls team that is coming off a great season. The Heat didn't play great in that game but they have a ton of star players on this team and they are going to play much better here bouncing back in this game. The Raptors opened their season with a win over the Cavaliers with their shiny new piece Donovan Mitchell, but they only won that game by 3 points and they were a much better home team last season. Now they are on the road against the team that was the number 1 seed in the East last year and they will also be facing an old teammate in Kyle Lowry. The Heat will play much better here with the Raptors coming to town and their defensive game will be a lot better with another good defensive team coming in here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Heat to cover the spread in this game.
