Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors odds, picks and predictions

Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Miami Heat (11-9) take on the Toronto Raptors (9-11) Wednesday with tip-off from Scotiabank Arena set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Heat vs. Raptors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; Raptors won 3-1 last season

The Heat have lost 4 of 5 as they split 2 games with the Indiana Pacers Thursday and Saturday. The latest was a 144-129 loss to Indiana, which was missing star G Tyrese Haliburton. F Jimmy Butler had 33 points, 5 boards and 5 assists. Miami will suit up without C Bam Adebayo (hip) again in this one.

The Raptors have dropped 3 of 4 and have been posted up since a 119-106 loss to the New York Knicks Friday. F Pascal Siakam had 21 points, 8 boards and 3 assists. A big issue for Siakam this year is he's shooting 19.8% from 3-point range, which is down from 32.4% last season.

Heat at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 106, Heat 98

Moneyline

The Raptors have beaten the Heat 3 consecutive times, and the absence of Herro and Adebayo will be too much to survive the chill in Toronto. I'm not too keen on dropping -150 on the Raptors, though.

PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

The Raptors have covered in the last 4 meetings and in 6 of 7. Even in the games Miami won, they were 3- and 5-point deficits. The Raptors are 6-5 ATS at home this season.

Take the RAPTORS -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

This total was steamed up another point Wednesday morning, and I was already on board with the Under. The Heat are 17th in the league with 113.1 PPG and 24th in pace. The Raps are 24th with 111.2 PPG and tied for 16th in pace. The teams missed this total in the last 3 meetings, and 2 of Miami's horses are out.

Take the UNDER 220.5 (-110).
