Toronto Raptors vs Houston Rockets prediction

The Toronto Raptors are having issues scoring, the losses are piling up, and there’s a chance they could be without Barrett and Quickley. However, let’s not act like the Rockets are lighting the world on fire and there’s a chance they could be without Sengun due to an illness. I’m not excited to back either of these teams in their current form, but I have even less excitement to lay chalk with either side. It’s the Raptors and the points or pass for me.
