The Toronto Raptors will welcome Kyle Lowry and the Miami Heat to town Tuesday night for a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Scotiabank Arena.

Where to Watch

TSN and the FAN 590 will air the game in Toronto. CBS Sports Radio will broadcast for Miami.

What to Watch For

  • Lowry's homecoming won't be quite the same as last year's. He's no longer in the starting lineup for the Heat and the third time back loses some of the excitement. That being said, Lowry should make things tough for Toronto as Miami's second-unit maestro. Considering the Raptors' lack of point guard depth, Lowry could have a big game feasting on Toronto's bench units.
  • Any hope of Toronto catching Miami this season starts with a win Tuesday night. The Raptors are three games back of the Heat but a win would pull Toronto within two with the tiebreaker in hand.
  • Toronto is 0-for-5 this season in games with an opportunity to hit .500. There's no real explanation for it but a win Tuesday would allow the Raptors to pull even for the season.

Injury Reports

Gary Trent Jr. remains questionable for Toronto. Will Barton and Joe Wieskamp are doubtful. Dalano Banton and Otto Porter Jr. are out.

Miami has listed Lowry as questionable. Nikola Jovic is out.

Game Odds

The Raptors are -3 point favorites with an implied win probability of 60%. The total for the game is 219.5.
