    Tom Stryker: Feel the Heat -4½ vs Raptors

    Feel the Heat -4½ vs Raptors

    Game Time: 4/3/2007 7:30:00 PM -

    It's payback time down in South Florida tonight when Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat play host to Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors.

    Back on March 28, Toronto (-3½) got the best of Miami at home and knocked off the Heat, 96-83. You know what they say about payback, men.

    According to my NBA database, this is a great spot for Miami. The Heat are 11-4 straight up and against the spread in this series provided the Raptors enter off a straight up win. But even more important, at home running with rest and matched up against a foe that arrives off a straight up and against the spread victory, Miami is a blistering 44-18 against the spread.

    Those two team trends are nice but this next one really makes this play. At home with a winning percentage of .545 or better and matched up against a foe that enters off a straight up win of 10 points or more, the Heat are a blistering 64-39 against the spread.

    The Raptors got the best of Shaq and Company a few weeks ago. Not this time. Take Miami.

    Play: Heat -4½

    I don't play much NBA, but the Heat are an outstanding situational play tonight. If the line goes back down a little, I'll play them.

    Raptors seem to be a bit of a square dog, so I'm making a small play on the Heat at -4.5. May the better team win I guess.
