I am looking to cash in on the surging Toronto Raptors for the second straight night after a successful Monday night in the prop market.

Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this Eastern Conference showdown between Miami and Toronto, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Heat vs. Raptors

  • Pascal Siakam OVER 25.5 Points + Assists (+100)
  • Gary Trent Jr. OVER 3.5 Three-Pointers (+105)
  • OG Anunoby OVER 18.5 Points (-125)

Pascal Siakam OVER 25.5 Points + Assists (+100)

We are going back to the well with Siakam after hitting his OVER 20 points prop last night. In a 106-100 win over the Hawks, Siakam scored 25 points, nabbed six boards and four assists in 41 minutes.

While I think he sees fewer minutes tonight, I am confident he has another strong performance against an Eastern Conference rival. If he did what he did last night he would go OVER this total by 3.5 points. The Heat does have a better defense than the Atlanta Hawks but Siakam is almost matchup-proof the way he is playing right now. 

Gary Trent Jr. OVER 3.5 Three-Pointers (+105)

Trent might not have the superstar talent that Siakam does, but he is deadly from behind the arc if given the space to shoot. He missed six games in January with an ankle issue but came back to the team red-hot on Jan. 21 against the Wizards where he hit three treys in a 109-105 victory.

In the five games since his return, Trent is averaging 5.8 3-pointers made per contest. The icing on the cake was his last game, a 106-100 win over the Hawks where he went 9-for-15 from deep and scored 31 total points. At these odds, I think it is well worth a bet on him to continue to shoot with a hot hand. 

OG Anunoby OVER 18.5 Points (-125)

While I came up with a win on Siakam last night, Anunoby failed to hit his total for us but still managed 15 points in 36 minutes. He also went 3-for-5 from deep. His statline was hurt by the fact that he didn’t make it to the charity stripe once last night. However, I am quick to forgive and want to give him another chance to go off tonight. Anunoby has gone over 20 points in three of his last four games and, while the Heat are a good defensive team, I like his chance to bounce back tonight.
