Nailbiter in Florida?

Miami Heat get a visit from the Toronto Raptors on 18.01.2022. The Canadians have stabilised considerably recently: Only three of the last ten games were lost. However, the home side also has the same record, which is why it looks like it will be a close game in Florida.

Miami Heat – statistics & current form

The Florida franchise has had its top player Jimmy Butler back for two games. However, the small forward’s lack of game practice was noticeable recently. He scored only eight points in the loss against the Sixers, while Butler scored 23 points in the previous comeback game against Atlanta.

However, the past few weeks without Butler have shown that Miami can perform without him. The squad is very well-stocked across the board, which is why such absences can usually be absorbed well.

Tyler Herro in particular has been stable at the moment: he has an average scoring value of 21.4 per game in the current month. This means he has increased his yield by three points compared to December.

Toronto Raptors – Statistics & current form

Toronto head coach Nick Nurse most recently celebrated an away win with his team at none other than the champions from Milwaukee. The game showed that the Raptors can now compete with the heavyweights of the NBA again. The reason for this is an improved personnel situation.

Furthermore, Fred VanVleet is in the best of moods at the moment: This is especially true for his attempts from outside: 44.9 percent of the throws from downtown by the shooting guard find their way through the trap! Stephen Curry of the Warriors alone is topping his average of 3.9 threes per game in the NBA!
