Toronto is on a tear, a 5-1 SU/ATS run. Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan is averaging 23.7 points over a three-game stretch while making 31-of-35 free throws. Toronto has great balance and firepower, 11th in the NBA in scoring and sixth in points allowed, plus third in field goal shooting defense. They face a Miami team that is 3-9 ATS against the East, 1-8 ATS against a team with a winning record. Miami is off a 90-87 loss at Indiana on Friday with a short bench. Dwyane Wade capped a season-low nine-point effort with a missed 3-pointer at the buzzer. Amar'e Stoudemire missed his fourth game in a row due to a knee injury, and swingman Gerald Green has been battling an undisclosed illness. The physical woes have hampered a bench that is averaging 24 points, tied for 28th in the NBA. Miami is 5-11 ATS playing on one day of rest, and when these teams clash the road team is 10-4 ATS. Play Toronto.
