Miami Heat vs Toronto Raptors Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The start of the 2022/23 NBA season continues with two of last season’s top five seeds in the Eastern Conference doing battle when the Miami Heat host the Toronto Raptors at the FTX Arena in South Beach. It’s been a tough start to the campaign for last season’s #1 seed in the Miami Heat who have dropped their opening two games after a 111-104 home loss to the Celtics their last time out. The loss is the second straight at home for the Heat who will try to get their season up and running as they play their third of a four game home stand. On the other side, the Raptors come into this game 1-1 on the season after a 108-105 win over Cleveland in the opener was followed up by a close 109-105 loss to the Nets. This is the first of two consecutive games between Miami and Toronto, with the second scheduled for Monday also at the FTX Arena.

Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors: Form Analysis
Miami finished last season as one of the NBA’s strongest home teams with their 29-12 record ranking as the best in the East and tied for fourth best in the league. However, Erik Spoelstra’s men are at serious risk of dropping their third straight at home as they come up against a Raptors side that has shown a lot of fight early in the season. Toronto has to deal with one of the toughest opening schedules in the league as their first seven games are against teams that were either in the playoffs or play-in game last season. Raptor fans should certainly be encouraged by the start despite sitting at 1-1, as they took down a Cavs team many expect to take a significant jump and easily could’ve beaten Brooklyn on another night.

Miami Heat & Toronto Raptors Squad Analysis
Two of the best coached teams in the league will duke it out here in what is likely to be a closely contested and physical Eastern Conference matchup. Miami returns the core of the team that finished top of the East last season which makes their early season struggles even more surprising. Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and sixth-man of the year Tyler Herro are the main offensive weapons for Miami. Toronto will be expecting last season’s Rookie of the Year Scottie Barnes to continue his excellent play and make a significant leap forward in his second season. Key to their chances this year will be the production of Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet.
Miami Heat - Toronto Raptors Key Points
