Raptors Welcome Kyle Lowry & Heat for Final Time this Year: Where to Watch, Injury Reports, & More
The Toronto Raptors will welcome Kyle Lowry and the Miami Heat to town Wednesday night: Where to watch, injury reports, and more
The Toronto Raptors will welcome Kyle Lowry and the Miami Heat to town Wednesday night for a 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Scotiabank Arena.
Where to Watch
Sportsnet and TSN 1050 will air the game in Toronto. Bally Sports Sun and AM 560 Sports WQAM will call the game for Miami.
What to Watch For
- The Raptors have tabbed Scottie Barnes as being the team's top defensive stopped since the OG Anunoby trade and that likely means taking on Jimmy Butler on Wednesday night. The key for Toronto is finding a way to get Barnes going on the offensive end while shouldering such an onerous defensive workload.
- Jontay Porter has continued to impress as Toronto's fill-in center with Jakob Poeltl out. The Raptors are still trying to navigate pick-and-pop situations with Porter who is a much better three-point shooter than any of Toronto's other center options.
- Kyle Lowry has made it clear this won't be his last season in the NBA but the 37-year-old is certainly nearing the end of his career and Wednesday will be his last game in Toronto with the Heat this season. At least for this year, it'll be another opportunity to see the greatest Raptors player of all time.
Injury Reports
Gary Trent Jr. and Gradey Dick are questionable for Toronto. Jakob Poeltl, Otto Porter Jr., and Christian Koloko all remain out.
Jamie Jaquez Jr., Kevin Love, and Dru Smith are all out for Miami.
Game Odds
The Raptors are +2.5 point underdogs with an implied win probability of 47.6%. The total for the game is 227.5.
