Both teams could be without their starting point guards on Saturday, as Fred VanVleet is listed as questionable with right knee soreness and Kyle Lowry has missed six straight games for personal reasons.
Lowry has yet to play against his former team this season. The Raptors and Heat are set to meet again on Tuesday, Feb. 1 for what would be Lowry's first time playing in Toronto since joining the Heat.
Even with Lowry, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo being in and out of the lineup this season, the Heat find themselves at the top of the Eastern Conference standings with a 32-17 record. They own the league's fifth-best offensive rating (112.6) to go along with the sixth-best defensive rating (107.6).
Sitting at 23-23, the Raptors are currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They rank 12th in offensive efficiency (110.8) and 18th in defensive efficiency (110.1).
