Both the Heat and Raptors enter Monday's crucial matchup as strong contenders for a deep playoff run in Orlando. The Raptors started their NBA restart with a full roster, and are favourites in the Eastern Conference along with the Milwaukee Bucks to win the 2019-20 season. The Heat opened their season on Saturday (Sunday IST), beating the Denver Nuggets 125-105. Heat centre Bam Adebayo stated that their team is "locked in defensively" and they play "a lot harder in the second half".

The Raptors, on the other hand, last beat the Los Angeles Lakers 107-92 on the same day. The Raptors are ranked second in NBA in steals, while the Heat are second in the NBA in fewest points allowed on fast breaks. Pascal Siakam is leading the Raptors with a 23.5 points average per game, while Jimmy Butler leads the Heat with a 20.3 points average per game. The Heat are expected to play without Butler, who is reportedly self-isolating and has not been cleared for return.
