Rockets vs Raptors Prediction

The Rockets should be favored at home, as they’re the more talented team with the higher ceiling. However, the Rockets have underachieved here and there and they’re just 28-35 ATS on the season. We saw the Wizards take the Rockets down to the wire and the Warriors beat them as near double-digit underdogs. The Raptors are one of the surprises in the league this season; they compete and they have 19 road wins. When the Raptors play to their potential, they can hang with a lot of teams. I’ll grab the points with the Raptors.
