Houston Rockets vs Toronto Raptors prediction

I’m not running to the window to back either the Rockets or Raptors, especially in the favorite role, but somebody has to win. The Rockets aren’t playing well, and they’re 5-18 SU on the road. At least the Raptors have won 10 games at home this season, and they finally found some offense in their last game against the Hornets. We’re only laying a bucket. I have to lean Raptors because of the home court.
