This is a 10* Eastern-Conference 2nd ROUND TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER between the Miami Heat and the Toronto Raptors.

These teams needed OT to get the total to go over in Game 1, but with its back against the wall, we expect the hungry home side to push the pace of this one from the opening tip until the final horn and with the visitors needing to match pace, all signs do indeed point to this one blasting past the posted number as the it comes down the stretch. Toronto stars Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were outplayed by the back court of Miami's Dwayne Wade and Goran Dragic. Dragic had 26 points, Wade added 24 in Game 1. Miami would finish 8 of 11 from the 3-point range. Note that the Heat have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 12 when leading in a playoff series, while Toronto has seen the total go OVER in 11 of 16 this year off an upset loss as a favorite and in 24 of 34 in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent. Lowry and DeRozan have something to prove tonight. Play the OVER.
