Gameday: Heat @ Raptors, February 21
Briefly

The Toronto Raptors start their second half of the season post All-Star break with a crucial matchup against the Miami Heat. While the Raptors are mostly healthy, missing only Jakob Poeltl due to a hip injury, the Heat are navigating the aftermath of the Jimmy Butler trade saga. Despite their difficulties, both teams are vying for better positioning—Toronto likely under pressure for future prospects while players are motivated to win. Miami’s solid defense poses challenges for Toronto, particularly near the rim, as they strategize around their opposing frontcourt.
It will be tough to score at the rim consistently in the halfcourt.
Miami's backcourt is very weak defensively as it features Tyler Herro and Ducan Robinson.
