Preview · newsroom · 1 d agoThe Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors meet in a preseason game at Videotron Centre in Quebec City on Saturday, October 3, with tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBA TV. Both teams are 0-0, and each lists five players as day-to-day, including Bam Adebayo, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Immanuel Quickley.
The stakes and the form
Both teams enter at 0-0. This is a preseason game, so the result will not count in the standings, and there is no head-to-head history this season to lean on. Neither team has a last-five sample yet. The Raptors are the listed home team, but the game is at Videotron Centre in Quebec City rather than in Toronto. For Miami, it is a first look at a roster that lists Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Bobby Portis Jr. For Toronto, it is a first look at Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl together. Expect rotations to run deep on both benches.
Who is in and who is out
Nobody on either side is ruled out, but the day-to-day lists are long. Miami lists five: Bam Adebayo (back), Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee), Trevor Keels (right knee), Ryan Conwell (hip) and Myron Gardner (left ankle). Toronto also lists five: Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring), Nate Bittle (right knee), Alijah Martin (knee), Chucky Hepburn (knee) and Collin Murray-Boyles (finger). Day-to-day in the preseason often comes down to a coach's decision near tip, so check the status of Adebayo, Antetokounmpo and Quickley before the game starts. Everyone else on the two rosters is available as listed.
The matchup to watch
If Adebayo and Antetokounmpo play, the frontcourt against Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles is the matchup to track, with Nick Richards and Bobby Portis Jr. behind them for Miami. If they sit, the game turns on the wings. Miami has Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Simone Fontecchio against Toronto's Brandon Ingram, RJ Barrett, Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter. At guard, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson get Jamal Shead and Immanuel Quickley, if Quickley's hamstring allows. Watch how much run Toronto gives Murray-Boyles, who is day-to-day with a finger issue, and how Miami uses Nikola Jović.
