<div class="heading">Toronto vs. Miami Game 6 Overview</div>
<p>This has been one of the most evenly matched series in the entire NBA playoff season, so far. Three games required overtime to determine a victor. No team has put together a dominant performance as the largest margin of victory was ten points by Miami in Game One. Nevertheless, that game featured some theatrics from Toronto on a desperation hurl that landed at the end of regulation. We also note that each team has won once on their opposition's court. These revelations further illustrate how evenly matched these teams really are. The series so far has taken on a defensive tone and with the Raptors just a win away from a first-ever Conference Finals berth, the spotlights are burning the back of the Raptors' neck. </p>

Toronto Raptors at Miami Heat Pick
Toronto has had many struggles when the limelight is focused on them. We can't help but notice that the NBA often gets the storylines they want. From a holistic perspective, Cleveland vs. Miami is likely to generate more of a buzz than Toronto against Cleveland. Why? Because the panorama of LeBron James squaring off with his former team is a motif that will likely boost ratings. While we are not conspiracy theorists of any sort, Toronto has been in this position before when the stakes were lower and laid an egg. While the public may be reluctant to take the Heat outright because of the juice required, the Heat are certainly a solid pick at home, as they have found ways to come up big there all season long. Toronto has had many struggles on the road, but none in this series. Nevertheless, it is yet to be determined how this team will perform when they have a chance to take another gigantic leap on a franchise level. As for Miami, they have personnel that have been in this predicament before, most notably Dwayne Wade. It is hard to imagine Miami loses this game at home but we are by no means suggesting this is a best bet. On the contrary, with a high expectation of anemic scoring, we have an opportunity to score a friendly price on taking the over and that will be our "best bet" in this scenario.
