The Heat’s recent strong form is mainly due to their offensive performance. Facing the Raptors, who have poor defense, the Heat’s hot offense is likely to continue. Although Barnes is missing for the Raptors, other players have shown strong enthusiasm and determination on the court. Even when trailing by a large margin, they refuse to give up easily, and we have seen multiple instances this season where they make a late-game push to catch up. Considering the situation of both teams, I expect a high-scoring game.
