The home team in a Game 7 in the NBA Playoffs covers the spread nearly 60 percent of the time. Toronto appears to have its star guard tandem back on track as DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 59 points in a losing cause on Friday. Miami went to a smaller lineup in Game 6 and shot 47.6 percent with Goran Dragic leading the Heat with 30 points. Both teams are playing without their injured starting centers as Hassan Whiteside is out with a sprained MCL and Jonas Valanciunas has an ankle injury. Miami is 4-9 ATS its last 13 road games. Friday's game was the first time in the series that either team scored 100 points in a non-overtime game. The Heat has gone UNDER the total eight of its last 11 road contests, and Miami is 9-4 UNDER after a win. Toronto has gone UNDER four of its last five after allowing 100-plus points. Look for the Raptors to bounce back with a win and cover, and also play the UNDER here.
