The Miami Heat will welcome the Toronto Raptors into FTX Arena tonight, in hopes of extending their winning streak.

The Heat are settling nicely into the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are still at .500, and are currently trying to get to the more advantageous No. 8 seed. Can they get above the .500 mark?

Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Raptors vs. Heat Prediction and Pick

In the last five games, Miami has continued to be one of the league's top teams. The Heat are top 10 in offensive rating and top 5 in defensive and net rating. The Heat have gone 4-1 in this span and I think they'll have no issue with the Raptors tonight.

The Heat have covered in four of their last six games, while the Raptors have only covered in two of their last six games.

Fred VanVleet is questionable for today's game with a knee injury. If he plays, Toronto has a small chance to keep it close. Yet if he misses the game, jump on the Heat's bandwagon. Getting the Heat as only 3-point favorites is a steal and that is where I playing tonight.

Pick: Heat -3 (-110)
