Houston Rockets vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
The underdog has covered 6 of the last 9 games between the Rockets and Raptors, so the points are worth a look. However, the Raptors haven’t had much betting value dating back to last season, and they’re 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The Rockets are a deep, talented team, and the Raptors are 25th in defensive scoring and 29th in defensive field goal percentage. Id need more points to seriously consider the Raptors in this spot. This line is soft. Give me the Rockets and the small number.
