Toronto beat the Heat 125-115 on Nov. 25 in the only meeting so far this season. Now the Raptors will try to snap Miami's current five-game winning streak. Toronto suffered one of its worst shooting games of the season in its 126-101 loss at Philadlephia on Saturday. The Raptors shot only 38.9 percent, which is uncharacteristic of a team that is averaging 48.0 percent on the season. The Heat is one of the worst shooting teams in the league with a .432 field goal percentage while scoring 106.5 points per game compared to 114.3 for the Raptors. Miami figures to cool off considerably after shooting 50.6 percent from the field that included 16-of-31 from three-point range in its win over Orlando on Sunday. The road team has covered the spread five of the last six meetings and Miami is 3-9-3 ATS its last 15 games after a win of at least 10 points. Take the Raptors.
