The set-up: Miami annihilated Denver 125-105 and with a tough game vs. Eastern foe Boston tomorrow, Miami can ill afford to take the foot off the gas vs. the Raptors, who enter off a 107-92 thrashing of the Lakers in their Opener. Toronto enjoys a night off after this though before a game vs. the lowly Magic and I think it's going to suffer a letdown here after the high-profile match vs. the Lakers.

The pick: The Heat came in under the radar vs. the Nuggets and I don't think they're getting much respect here either. Miami took two of three from the Raptors in the regular season as its depth does indeed match up well with the defending champs.

This is an 8* play on the Miami Heat.
