In case you haven't notice, new-look Toronto is playing real well with a winning road record. The Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games, on a 5-0 ATS run overall. The much-improved Toronto Raptors look to extend a season-high win streak to six games here. The Raptors are 10-3 since the departure of second-leading scorer Rudy Gay in a seven-player deal with Sacramento. Gay could score, but was a bad shooter and took way too many shots. They are much better without him on offense, and are a terrific defensive team, sixth in the NBA in points allowed. Toronto boasts wins over Indiana and Oklahoma City in its last seven games, and is now the No. 4 seed in the East. They have plenty to prove, while Miami has nothing to prove. The Heat is 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and had to play yesterday, while Toronto has one day of rest. Miami is 5-12 ATS after a double digit win, and the Raptors are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Miami. Play Toronto.
