Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors prediction

The Miami Heat are in a serious funk right now, and them being so banged up makes it hard to believe this is where things turn around. The Heat will be without Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith. The Toronto Raptors have seen 6 of their 9 wins this season come at home, and they’ve won 5 of the last 7 meetings against the Heat. I’ll lay the bucket with the Raptors.
