The Miami Heat will host the Toronto Raptors for an NBA 2025-26 regular-season clash on Monday, December 15. This will be the first time the Heat and the Raptors will be up against each other in the current NBA<\/a> season. The hosts will head into the game on the back of a four-game losing streak. In their most-recent fixture, they slumped to the Orlando Magic in an NBA Cup Quarter Final clash. The Heat are currently seeded sixth in the East tied to the Philadelphia 76ers with a 14-11 record. <\/p>

Similarly, the Raptors are riding on a four-game losing streak, with their most-recent defeat coming against the New York Knicks in an NBA Cup knockout game. The game saw Brandon Ingram dropping 31 points and leading the charts for the Raptors. However, lack of equal effort from the rest of the squad, dropped them to their 11th loss of the season. <\/p>

Both teams are going through a slump, but considering that they are closely following each other in the standings, we can expect a thundering clash on Monday. However, before that, let’s get into the injury report and predict the starting lineups ahead of their face off. <\/p>
