The Heat are a top-five squad, while Toronto has the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference. Our Heat vs Raptors prediction foresees the Heat churning out another win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cavs-looking-to-extend-two-game-win-streak\">Heat Looking For Their Fourth Straight Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami produced eight wins across its first 16 outings. Since that start, the team has posted a 4-2 record in the last six games, including a 122-113 over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. In that contest, four of Miami&#8217;s starters scored in double figures, spearheaded by a spectacular scoring display from Tyler Herro. He finished with 34 points, six rebounds, and seven assists on 10-for-19 shooting from the field and a 5-for-9 effort from 3-point  range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duncan Robinson added 23 points, including four 3-pointers, while Jimmy Butler contributed 18 points and five assists. Not only was this the Heat&#8217;s third straight win, but it was also their fourth straight victory on their home floor. This game also marked the third consecutive outing in which Miami topped the 120-point threshold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nuggets-seek-to-continue-recent-success\">Raptors Hope To End Three-Game Skid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Raptors managed just five wins in their first 20 contests. They have fared somewhat better since that horrific start, going 2-3 over their previous five games. However, they enter this conference tilt amid a three-game losing streak, including a 113-108 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RJ Barrett led a trio of starters who scored in double figures. He finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Scottie Barnes added 15 points and five rebounds. The Raptors also got a solid performance from Ja&#8217;Kobe Walter, who led the second unit with 19 points.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teams were tied at 108 in the game&#8217;s waning moments. Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns converted a layup to give New York a two-point advantage with 36 seconds left.  He followed that up with a clutch 3-point shot to seal the deal, enabling the Knicks to extend their winning streak over Toronto to five games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cavaliers-vs-nuggets-prediction-cavaliers-win-a-close-one\">Heat vs Raptors Prediction: Miami Wins Its Fourth Straight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami is surging, having won seven of its last 10 games. This ball club is also reasonably decent from a defensive standpoint, ranking seventh in scoring defense (<em>109.3 PPG<\/em>) and 11th in defensive rating (<em>112.0 Points Per 100 Possessions<\/em>). Conversely, the Raptors have dropped three straight and have three separate losing streaks of at least four games this season. Simply put, Miami rolls to its fourth straight victory. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the games on Thursday night\u2019s\u00a0NBA\u00a0slate features the Miami Heat taking on the Toronto Raptors.
