Raptors vs Heat prediction
The Raptors have been arguably the worst team in the NBA over the last month, as they’ve completely shut things down and gone into tank mode. The Heat are still playing for seeding, so this line is what it is. Give me the Raptors. The Heat have underachieved all year, and the offense consistently has issues reaching 100 points. The Raptors beat the Heat by 24 points back in January, and they’ve won 4 of the last 5 games overall. Robinson has been ruled out and Rozier is questionable. This line is nuts. Give me the Raptors and the points.
