The Toronto Raptors face the Miami Heat tonight in their first matchup of the season, which also marks the penultimate game for Toronto’s NBA Cup group play.
With the Raptors already eliminated from NBA Cup contention, the only goal tonight is picking up a second straight win on the road, and to play spoiler for Miami. A loss tonight would eliminate the Heat in what is their final group play game.
Now, wins on the road have been hard to come by this season for the Raptors. Wednesday night’s victory in New Orleans was the team’s first road win of the season, putting them at a 1-10 record away from home this season.
