Toronto Raptors vs Houston Rockets Prediction: will the Rockets be able to confirm their favorite status?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Raptors from the very start of the championship are stuck at the bottom of the East standings and apparently don't have the resources to get out of there. At the moment, the team shares the penultimate place in the conference with Charlotte with a 7-21 record, and only Washington, which has won only four out of 26 games since the start of the season, is below them.

Toronto has played the last two games at home. First, the Raptors lost a close game to Chicago (121:122), and then failed to cope with Brooklyn (94:101). All in all, the Canadian team has already suffered six consecutive defeats.

If Toronto is not solving its tournament problems this season, the Rockets have the highest ambitions. For the upcoming game, Aime Udoka's team approaches the third line in the Western Conference with a balance of 16-9, as well as being the third defense this season. The Texas team is averaging 106.4 points allowed per game.

In the previous game, Houston beat West outsider New Orleans 133:113 at home. Jaylen Green scored 33 points, and Dillon Brooks had 26 points for his performance.

Today, Houston and Toronto are teams of different levels, so, contrary to the statistics of personal meetings between the rivals in recent years, we will bet on the victory of the Rockets in the upcoming game. Also, we suggest betting  on a low scoring game, considering that the Texans have the third best defense in the league.
