Raptors vs Heat
Miami steadies the ship at home while the scoreboard cools off.

Raptors (15-11) VS Heat (14-11)
December 15, 2025 | 7:30 PM ET | Kaseya Center (Miami, FL)


Miami should be surest to finally stop the bleeding at home, with both teams entering on four-game losing streaks but Toronto missing a major scoring wing in RJ Barrett, and the Heat still bringing matchup pressure from Bam Adebayo inside plus a guard group that’s historically been comfortable against the Raptors (Tyler Herro has consistently produced in this matchup). If Miami’s ball pressure forces Toronto into long half-court possessions again, the Heat’s deeper shot-creation (Norman Powell/Herro) is the cleaner path to a straight-up win than betting on Toronto’s offense to travel without Barrett.

Toronto’s current four-loss slide has come with multiple low-output nights, and with Barrett ruled out the Raptors’ shot diet skews even more toward tough Brandon Ingram/Scottie Barnes creation and fewer easy paint touches, which is a bad mix when Miami is also trying to snap its own four-game skid by tightening defensively at home. Even though the Heat can score in bunches, recent results for both clubs show more grind than track meet, and a close, physical game script (free throws and half-court sets over transition) favors staying below a number this high.

Bam Adebayo’s matchup history versus Toronto (steady rebounding and playmaking) lines up well for a “get-right” home performance to end Miami’s four-game skid, and Toronto arriving on the same four-game slide without RJ Barrett raises the floor for a Heat separation run if the Raptors’ secondary scoring dries up. With Herro’s proven comfort against the Raptors and Miami’s ability to win the possession battle at Kaseya Center, laying the points is a bet on Toronto’s current shorthanded offense cracking first rather than trading punches for 48 minutes. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 15/12/2025 09:39am
