Miami Heat Form
Miami head to Toronto on a disappointing run of form, having lost four of their last five games to fall to 11-9.
The Heat were red-hot form much of November, going on a seven-game win streak as part of a run of nine wins in 10 games.
They cooled off late in the month though, starting with a 100-98 defeat to the Knicks when they visited New York.
Miami then lost 112-97 in Brooklyn, before returned home for a 131-124 defeat at the hands of Milwaukee.
The Heat stopped the rot with a 142-132 victory over Indiana, only to lose to the Pacers a couple of days later, 144-129.
Toronto Raptors Form
Toronto also come into this underwhelming matchup, having lost three of their last four to drop to 9-11.
The Raptors have struggled for consistency all season long, winning back-to-back games just twice.
The last time they managed it was November 22/24, when they followed up a 132-131 win at Indiana with a 121-108 victory over Chicago.
Toronto failed to keep that good sequence going as they were beaten 105-102 in Cleveland, and that was followed by a 115-103 defeat in Brooklyn.
The Raptors returned home to beat Phoenix 112-105, only to then lose 119-106 when they hosted New York.
