What to Know

The Toronto Raptors might have tired legs after a matchup yesterday as they head on the road against the Houston Rockets at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 10 at Toyota Center. Toronto will be strutting in after a win while Houston will be stumbling in from a loss.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between the Raptors and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Toronto wrapped it up with a 117-98 victory on the road. Toronto’s power forward Pascal Siakam did his thing and posted a double-double on 27 points and 16 rebounds along with five dimes.

Meanwhile, the game between Houston and the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday was not particularly close, with the Rockets falling 110-97. A silver lining for Houston was the play of point guard Kevin Porter, who shot 7-for-12 from beyond the arc and finished with 27 points and five assists.

Toronto is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a seven-game streak of ATS wins.

Houston’s defeat took them down to 15-39 while Toronto’s win pulled them up to 30-23. Allowing an average of 116.89 points per game, Houston hasn’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming game.
