Key Factors to Consider

- In their last meeting, Miami beat Toronto 114-104, with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro leading the charge. Toronto's RJ Barrett had a triple-double but struggled with shooting efficiency.
- Toronto has faced challenges with injuries, notably Scottie Barnes missing games due to an ankle sprain and earlier an orbital fracture. Miami's health status appears more stable.
- The game is at Scotiabank Arena, which could give Toronto a home advantage. However, Miami's recent form and performance might counteract this.
- Both teams are motivated to win, but Miami's need to break a road losing streak and Toronto's desire to improve their home record could drive their performances.
