The Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat meet Saturday in NBA action at the FTX Arena. The Toronto Raptors need a win after losing six of their last nine games. The Miami Heat look for a win after winning five of their last six games.

The Toronto Raptors are averaging 107.1 points on 43.8 percent shooting and allowing 106.4 points on 46.1 percent shooting. Fred VanVleet is averaging 21.7 points and 7 assists, while Pascal Siakam is averaging 21 points and 8.2 rebounds. OG Anunoby is the third double-digit scorer and Gary Trent Jr. is grabbing 2.6 rebounds. The Toronto Raptors are shooting 34.4 percent from beyond the arc and 75.4 percent from the free throw line. The Toronto Raptors are allowing 36 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.7 rebounds per game.

The Miami Heat are averaging 108.6 points on 46 percent shooting and allowing 104.1 points on 44.3 percent shooting. Jimmy Butler is averaging 21.4 points and 6.1 assists, while Tyler Herro is averaging 20.7 points and 4.9 rebounds. Bam Adebayo is the third double-digit scorer and Kyle Lowry is grabbing 4.5 rebounds. The Miami Heat are shooting 37.6 percent from beyond the arc and 80.7 percent from the free throw line. The Miami Heat are allowing 35 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 44.5 rebounds per game.

The Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The under is 8-2 in Raptors last 10 overall. The over is 4-0 in Heat last 4 overall. The Raptors are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Miami and 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

The Toronto Raptors have the rest advantage, and they've been a lot more competitive lately, but they're a team I still don't trust against contenders and Fred VanVleet is currently questionable with a knee injury. The Miami Heat are piling up the quality performances, and they play their best ball at home, where they win by an average of 7.1 points. The Heat have also covered eight of their last 11 games on the end of back to backs. Reasonable number, give me the Heat at home.
