As long as they keep that up, I expect Ingram to have the necessary opportunities to cash this bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For context, Miami ranked 27th in possessions per 48 minutes last year, averaging 97.08. This season, the Heat are No. 1 at 105.30 possessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As you&#8217;d expect, more possessions have led to more scoring. Miami is allowing 118.2 points per game this year (22nd), compared to 110.0 PPG last year (seventh).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In his first healthy season for the Raptors, Ingram has embraced the role of their go-to shooter. He&#8217;s averaging team highs in points (21.5), field goal attempts (17.0) and free throw attempts (4.9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That scoring average falls a tick below what is being asked of him tonight, but I&#8217;m hoping a high-possession game takes care of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Full Raptors vs. Heat prop markets at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially with RJ Barrett (knee) still sidelined. Barrett is one of three Raptors averaging north of 19.0 points this season, so his absence really matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In nine games without Barrett, Ingram is averaging 23.1 PPG. And he hit the 30-point threshold in back-to-back games entering tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Miami allows the fifth-most PPG to opposing small forwards (24.66), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122219\">Embed: #122219<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Wager on Monday&#8217;s 5-game NBA slate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raptors picks and predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quickley over 6.5 assists (+100):<\/strong> Some Quickley-to-Ingram buckets would be ideal, contributing to both of my predictions. At even money, IQ is worth a look in this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 6.2 assists per game, Quickley is the leader of a team that treats playmaking as a by-committee task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barrett (3.8 APG) is a contributing member of that group when healthy, and Quickley has upped his game a bit in Barrett&#8217;s absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Without Barrett (8 games):<\/strong> 6.6 APG, 12.0 potential assists\/game, 4-4 vs. this prop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With Barrett (17 games):<\/strong> 6.0 APG, 9.9 potential assists\/game, 7-10 vs. this prop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on Quickley &amp; Ingram tonight<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that potential assists are any passes that lead directly to shots. So Quickley is averaging about two additional assist opportunities sans Barrett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami allows an NBA-high 9.6 APG to opposing point guards, which is another reason to buy in on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Raptors vs. Heat prop bets made at 9:25 a.m. ET on Dec. 15, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Raptors face the Miami Heat for the first time this season in hopes of turning their fortunes around.
