The Miami Heat (15-9), winners of their last three, return home after a brief road trip to face Toronto (16-11), who have lost their last two after a four game winning streak. These two squads last faced off on November 8th, a game in which Miami won 96-76, holding the Raptors to 29 second-half points and a paltry 39% shooting from the field.
The Raptors have been without center Jonas Valanciunas since November 20th, but backup Bismack Biyombo has manned the middle well and is coming off an 18 rebound, 7 block game.
