The Houston Rockets and Toronto raptors both don't lose very often but each enters this game off overtime losses. Toronto will ultimately be better with Kyle Lowery back in the lineup but his return after an 11-game absence with a broken thumb was less than stellar as he shot 2-18. He may be an actual liability for a few games. Everyone wondered how Harden and Westbrook would fit together in the same backcourt. That answer is very well! They have combined for 61 points, 14 rebounds, and 15 assists per game. Toronto has done a good job shutting down the opponents top scorer this season, and I don't see that working out here. Play on Houston.
