Raptors at Rockets picks and predictionsPrediction

Rockets 110, Raptors 104

AVOID.

These two teams are pretty evenly matched overall, but the Rockets play much better at home (21-8) than on the road (18-16). It’s not crazy to think Toronto could pull off a road win here, but there’s nothing solid to go off of when it comes to putting money on it.

BET ROCKETS -5.5 (-105).

Both teams are 5-5 against the spread over their last 10 games, but I’ll take Houston to cover given its success at home this season and the Raptors being a bit banged up.

BET UNDER 217.5 (-110).

Neither team possesses a high-scoring offense, as the Rockets rank 20th in the NBA in scoring (114.6 points per game), and the Raptors 22nd (113.7). Houston has hit the Over slightly more than not over its last 10 games (6 times), but Toronto has hit the Under in 8 of its last 10.
