Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors Back-to-back game for Miami tonight, which will host the Raptors in Florida in order to continue the victories and good basketball.
So three consecutive victories for the Spoelstra team, with the returns of most injured or COVID patients has found its rhythm and enjoys the top of the eastern region. He also won yesterday against the ambitious Clippers with 121-114, however the score does not reveal the whole truth. This is because the Heat controlled the match throughout and relaxed towards the end to reduce the difference that had been built earlier. Consistently good Jimmy Butler who scored 26 points, double-double for Adebayo. The first was doubtful for tonight, he came from a minor injury and will probably rest since it is the second consecutive match in two days.
Defeat for the Raptors in Chicago, 111-105 by the Bulls. They gave their battle anyway, but in the absence of their best player VanVleet they lacked cynicism and something more. Doubtful for today the excellent point guard, if he is missing, Nick Nurse will again support the forwards of the team Siakam, Anynoby and Gary Trent Jr. They are quite unstable in the most recent games, each victory is followed by a defeat, to see if tonight this pattern will be broken.
Miami is in good shape, which even when there was a lack of players and Butler's best player, found a way to be competitive and win. However, the Raptors will not fall easily, as up to a point they can hardly put their opponent, while the participation of Butler and VanVleet will be enough. In any case, I estimate that both teams can catch their usual standards in the attack since they seem to have established a minimum level in their games, so the matchcombo at Stoiximan with Over 102,5 points for Miami and Over 97,5 points for Toronto (1,95) comes into play.
