NBA Odds: Raptors-Heat prediction, odds and pick - 10/22/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Miami Heat host the Toronto Raptors for early NBA season action! It's time to continue our NBA odds series with a Raptors-Heat prediction and pick.

He has played well in his first two games and can be a nightmare for the Heat if they aren’t careful. They are going to need Lowry to contribute at least 15 a night if they want to be the team they were last season. The Heat are yet to win a game so you know that they will be on their game offensively tonight. The key defensively will be for the Heat to shut down Siakam. The Heat fell to the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics to start the season. This is a huge season for them as they look to get on track with Jimmy Butler leading the way.

Raptors Game Tonight: Raptors vs Heat Odds, Starting Lineup ... (Raptors Rapture)

Will the Toronto Raptors take home a victory over another elite Eastern Conference foe in the Miami Heat? The latest Toronto Raptors odds say no.

Saturday’s game will be broadcast at 8:00 p.m. If one of their bench guys comes to play, Toronto could get back on track with a win. Erik Spoelstra is coaching a Heat team that is looking a bit older and less deep than they did last season. and his hamstring injury](https://raptorsrapture.com/2022/10/08/raptors-shooting-woes-importance-otto-porter-jr/) are out for the third straight game, while the hobbled Chris Boucher is still questionable. Miami is -138 on the moneyline, while Toronto checks in at +118 (bet $100 to win $118). The latest Toronto Raptors odds, however, aren’t very sure of that happening.

The Toronto Raptors play their second road game in as many nights, this time in Miami against the Heat.

Over 214.5 points (-113): Both teams are playing their third game in four nights and are on the second leg of a back-to-back. With both teams on a back-to-back, expect this to be the difference in what should be a tightly contested contest. Miami and Toronto have solid starting rotations but we have far less faith in the latter’s bench. Precious Achiuwa is Toronto’s greatest weapon in that department, while Miami has Max Strus, Duncan Robinson and Gabriel Vincent to turn to. Nick Nurse was forced to play all five starters for 36-plus minutes last night. The Raptors will likely have to lean on their starters in this contest, while the Heat can be more liberal in their rotations.
