Toronto vs. Miami Game 7 Overview
</div>
<p>
As what is anticipated in critical games at home, the Heat would step up in a big way with their backs against the wall on their home court, pulling off a 103-91 win in Miami with elimination on the horizon. Point guard Goran Dragic led the way for the Heat with 30 points, but it was the veteran leadership of shooter Dwayne Wade with 22 points that was the instrumental in keeping Miami's post-season hopes alive. Simply put, Miami outscored Toronto as the dynamic duo of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry combined for 58 points against the Heat's stout defense. Raptors forward DeMare Carroll will likely be a difference maker for the remainder of Toronto's post-season campaign as many enthusiasts and backers alike are grossly aware of his performance for the Atlanta Hawks in the 2015 playoffs in games of consequence. Carroll was injured for most of the regular season but his presence can make a huge impact when this game returns to Toronto for Game Seven.

Miami Heat at Toronto Raptors Pick
With Miami pulling off a monumental win in the American Airlines Center on Friday, much of the public is enamored now with the prospect of the LeBron's current team versus LeBron's former team match-up. Such was the fixation when King James was in Miami and left Cleveland before the Prodigal Son returned home to his native Ohio. However, we saw Toronto in this situation before in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Indiana where the Pacers forced a Game Seven. While there were many who felt Toronto would inevitably fall due to the ghosts of playoffs past haunting them, the Raptors would take care of business and put the Pacers away. Very simple, the Raptors are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for a reason, they are a rugged, talented team with a true home court advantage. Chalk this up one up to the Great White North doing what they do best and powering their Raptors toward the Eastern Conference Finals where they will be a snare for the heavily favored Cleveland Cavaliers. We are going to go ahead and say Toronto is in a "best bet" situation.
Free Pick:
Toronto Raptors -4.5
