Toronto has lost 11 of its 12 road contests. They've lost three in a row, all at home, and now make a long road trip south. Their last road game was also at Miami, losing 121-111, despite shooting 53.8% from the field. The Raptors come off a loss to the Knicks as forward Scottie Barnes left in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle. Barnes (20.6 ppg, 8.4 rpg) is their second-leading scorer and rebounder. The defense is 25th in points given up. Miami plays its fourth consecutive home contest off victories over the Lakers (134-93), the Suns (121-111), and the top-seeded Cavaliers (122-113). The defense is seventh in the NBA in points given up and 10th in shooting allowed. Play Miami.
