Raptors Struggling In The Heat Of Miami

The Toronto Raptors have hardly looked great during their series with the Miami Heat, but this series heading to South Beach could be an even worse sign. The Raptors are 2-11 SU in their past 13 games in Miami while being outscored by an average of 7.7 points per game. The Raps can take solace in the fact that they went 2-2 SU and ATS in the past two regular seasons in Miami.

Shark Bites
  • The Raptors are 0-6 ATS in their past six games.
  • The UNDER is 5-0 in the Raptors past five games on the road.
  • The Heat are 9-1 SU and ATS in their past 10 home games.

The Raptors are causing heart attacks for their fans during this series and after narrowly winning in Game 2 in overtime – despite holding a 15-point lead at one point. Toronto’s best players have not been their best players (to borrow that cliché) as Kyle Lowry and DeMar Derozen have shot a combined 35.4 percent from the floor and 21.5 percent from beyond the arc during the postseason.

The backcourt battle has clearly been in the favour of the Heat during this series with Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic lighting up the statsheet. Wade and Dragic have averaged a combined 43.5 points while shooting 7-for-8 from three-point range.
