KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: BACKCOURT: PG Kyle Lowry looked like an improved player in every possible way last season in earning his way to a Third Team All-NBA nod. It's hard to believe that he's just now reaching his prime at the age of 30. SG DeMar DeRozan had a breakout season, too, finishing second in the Eastern Conference with 23.5 points per game. Local boy PG Cory Joseph is an elite backup point guard behind Lowry. . . . FRONTCOURT: C Jonas Valanciunas is one of the NBA's more underappreciated talents, likely because his post moves are a little old fashioned. The other possible reason is his not-so-good defense. The Raps drafted similarly tall C Jakob Poeltl to back him up, and he's at least interesting as a prospect. SF DeMarre Carroll missed most of his first season in Toronto with an injury, and his full-time presence will help on both ends of the floor. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Losing playoff stud Bismack Biyombo hurts, but Carroll was the team's big signing a year ago and adds incredibly valuable depth on the wing. If there's a drop-off here, it will be slight.
MIAMI: BACKCOURT: PG Goran Dragic has never played up to the level of his Phoenix days since he arrived in Miami, but that could change this year. His best skills are wasted in the halfcourt, and he should be free to run more now that Dwyane Wade is out of town. His backup, the once-unheralded PG Tyler Johnson, suddenly faces expectations after signing a big contract. SG Josh Richardson is injured to start the season, but Dion Waiters is a capable fill-in. . . . FRONTCOURT: Along with Richardson, SF Justise Winslow helped to form a dynamic rookie duo last season. He's already there on defense and showed more than enough promise on offense. C Hassan Whiteside can dominate games like no one else in the league, but he needs to be more consistent and perhaps even a leader on a team that lost Wade and Chris Bosh. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Almost everything about this team is unpredictable, from post-Wade style of play to Whiteside's attitude from night-to-night. They could possibly compete for the playoffs, but developing Winslow and Richardson is more important.
PREVIEW
Raptors visit Heat in potential playoff preview
 

MIAMI -- When the Toronto Raptors visit the Miami Heat on Thursday night, it will be a possible first-round playoff preview.

Each team has 11 games remaining on its schedule, so there's a lot that has yet to be decided. But it is certainly conceivable that the Raptors (42-29) and Heat (35-36) could meet up in a playoff rematch. The Raptors eliminated Miami in last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, 4-3.

If a rematch does happen, the most likely scenario would be Toronto securing the No. 3 seed and Miami elevating itself to No. 6.

As for Thursday's matchup, both teams could be missing a starting frontcourt player.

For Toronto, power forward Serge Ibaka was suspended one game by the NBA on Wednesday after getting into a fight with Robin Lopez of the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. Both players were ejected after throwing punches, first Lopez and then Ibaka.

Ibaka, while talking to the media on Tuesday night before the suspension was announced, made his feelings clear.

"I want to play basketball -- I don't want to get suspended," said Ibaka, who thought only Lopez should get punished since he threw the first punch. "Like a man, I had to defend myself. I'm not going to let a man like him punch me and walk away.

"It's basketball -- sometimes we talk trash and push each other. But punching -- there's no room for that."

The Heat have their own issues. Starting guard Dion Waiters is likely out another 10 days with an injury to his left ankle, and Miami has potentially lost star center Hassan Whiteside to a finger injury.

Whiteside is fresh off getting named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday. In three games last week, he averaged 20.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks. He also made an NBA-best 73 percent of his field goals and shot 86 percent from the foul line.

But now he has this injury to his right (shooting) hand, suffering a gash on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns that required 13 stitches to close. The last time he had a similar injury, he missed three games.

"This injury is a little bigger, and it hurts more," Whiteside said ominously.

Whiteside's injury happened when he tried to block a shot by Marquese Chriss of Phoenix. On his follow-through, Whiteside smacked his hand on the backboard, lacerating the space between his ring and middle fingers.

In order to attempt to the Raptors, Whiteside will tape his middle and ring fingers together. Ultimately, though, the trainers will decide whether it's safe for Whiteside to play, but it certainly doesn't look good.

"There's no treatment," Whiteside told The Miami Herald. "We just have to let it heal.

"I know my teammates want me to play. It's such an important part of the season. As a competitor, I want to do everything I can to help the team. But I also don't want to go out there and hurt the team because I'm injured."

If Whiteside cannot play, Miami will likely start backup center Willie Reed, a much less accomplished player.

The Heat is 2-3 without Whiteside this season.
