Toronto have had terrible luck this season that hasn’t allowed them to get good results and rank higher in the Eastern Conference. Nick Nurse and co. have some work to do and the Heat will present a big opportunity for them to keep things on the right track.

Miami come from beating the Detroit Pistons to win their 5th game of the season. After going to the Finals last season, people expected more from this team and so far they’ve disappointed. They need to change something before it’s too late and Toronto is the perfect team for them to continue their good moment.

Toronto Raptors vs Miami Heat: Storylines

Toronto haven’t played like the thing that was really close to playing in the Eastern Conference Finals last season and they need to figure things out before it’s too late. Although the Brooklyn Nets have made a huge splash with the James Harden trade, these two squads are expected to compete better than they’ve done so far.

Miami know they are expected to have a good season this one after all the good things they did in the Orlando bubble. Erik Spoelstra and co. have a hard job to do but they know the season isn’t over yet and they can still turn things around.
