NBA: Raptors vs. Rockets, 2pm EST Raptors +9 (-110) 1 unit (Fanatics)

The Raptors have faced a tough stretch without key players like RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, and Jakob Poeltl, but Houston is hardly in a better place, struggling through one of their worst stretches of the season. The Rockets will be on the second night of a back-to-back and are dealing with injuries too, including the absence of Fred VanVleet. Despite Toronto’s struggles, they’ve kept games close and only lost to Houston by four points in their last matchup. With Houston’s inconsistent play and Toronto’s ability to stay competitive even without their stars, the +9 line offers solid value for the Raptors to cover here.
