Toronto has not missed a beat without Kawhi Leonard, as they have continued their winning ways and are led by a defense that ranks seventh in the league. In the first game they faced the Heat this season at home they lost 121-111 in OT.

The Raptors have a balanced team and have two players averaging at least 20 ppg in Pascal Siakam (25.1 ppg) and Kyle Lowry (20.9 ppg). However, Siakam is injured and out for this game.

The Heat had their five-game winning streak snapped with a loss to the Washington Wizards in their last game. They had played good defense in their win streak but in the loss to the Wizards gave up 123 points.

Like the Raptors the Heat are balanced and are led by Jimmy Butler (20.8 ppg) and he has totaled 52 points in the last two games.

The Heat have covered in seven of their last nine games facing the Raptors and that trend will continue in this home game not having to face Siakam.
