Raptors at Heat: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Heat 109, Raptors 104
Money line (ML)
Both teams have been playing well as of late, with Miami winning the last three and Toronto going 4-1 in its last five games. The Heat have been on the road for the last seven games, however, and will finally be back home for the first time since Feb. 9.
The Heat are getting healthy at the right time and could have Herro back on Wednesday night. That would be a big boost after missing Monday’s win over the Thunder and only playing 14 minutes the game prior. I like the HEAT (-150) to win outright tonight at home.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Heat are 3-0 ATS in their last three games and are favored by 3.5 points tonight. The Raptors are coming off a loss to the 76ers at home and though they won’t have far to travel, it’s still a road game and Lowry is questionable to play.
Take the HEAT -3.5 (-105) to cover and continue their hot streak with a fourth straight win.
Over/Under (O/U)
In the Heat’s last two games, the total went Under. The Raptors haven’t topped 110 points in any of their last four games and scored just 102 against the 76ers on Tuesday. I think the total will go UNDER 214.5 (-110) tonight, especially if either Lowry or Herro are forced to sit this one out.
