Toronto had a tough stretch this season. While they were expected to carry the NBA Atlantic, they enter this game as the fourth seed in the East if the playoffs started today. They trail Boston by just 2.5 games, but perhaps more importantly they lead Atlanta by just two games. The fourth and fifth seeds are all about getting round one at home, so I expect them to take the floor with energy tonight. The Heat have been playing well, but still find themselves on the outside looking in. They have always had trouble with this Toronto team as they don't match up well with them, leaving them at 3-8 in the last 11 meetings. Play on Toronto.
