Rogers' Tuesday 1st HALF PLAYBOOK - 9-3 Last 2 Days!
(NBA) Miami vs. Toronto, 05/03/2016 4:00 PM, Score: 102 - 96
Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Loss
The Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heat scrambled past their respective Conference Quarterfinals match-ups with both series going to seven games. Homecourt advantage could prove to be very important here with both teams playing on short rest, and I think the Raptors have a better chance of coming flying right out of the gate.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Road Woes - The Heat have covered the spread in only two of their past eight road games overall and they're 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in the series and Miami lost the two regular season meetings at Toronto this season by an average of 14 points.

2. The Bench - These two teams Conference Quarterfinals concluded Sunday, and with only one days of rest for this game the teams bench strength will definitely come into play. The Heat's reserves got outscored 32-23 on average by Charlotte's bench in their first round series while the Raptors' outscored Indiana's reserves 34-27 on average.

3. X-Factor - Toronto has won five of the last six meetings while holding Miami to 47 percent shooting or less in each of those games.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Raptors 1st Half (8*)
