Toronto Raptors vs Miami Heat Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat look for a solid finish to their regular-season campaign when they face the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of a back-to-back on Friday at 8:00 p.m. US EST at Kaseya Center.

The Heat realized they would be participating in the play-in round when they lost to the Dallas Mavericks, 92-111, on April 10. 

Now it's all about generating momentum and regaining that winning attitude for Miami, who will finish the regular season with a pair of home games against the Raptors.

Jimmy Butler, the major protagonist of the Heat's recent historic playoff runs, is looking to rebound off a 12-point performance against the Mavericks. This season, the Heat star is averaging 21.0 points on a 49.5 FG%, which looks to be the rationale for bookmakers to modify their total points props to over or under 21.0 points.

The Raptors, who are 5-1 ATS in their previous six games versus Miami, will rely on Ochai Agbachi and Jordan Nwora to contain a high-caliber player like Butler, while crucial players Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett have already taken an early vacation. 

Butler averaged 17.5 points and 48.1 FG% in his two games against the Raptors.

Our Toronto Raptors vs Miami Heat Prediction

Butler should start aggressively and capitalize on the Raptors' mismatch. With the play-in tournament approaching, Erik Spoelstra will want to limit his star's activity to manage exhaustion and avoid injury before the major games. That being said, I believe Butler will still score more than 20 points because the Raptors cannot provide a stronger defense for him.

Our betting pick for Raptors vs. Heat: Jimmy Butler to score over 20.5 points at DraftKings.

Prediction:

Jimmy Butler to score 20.5 points
