Game Preview
In an NBA game on Friday night at the Toyota Center in Houston, the Toronto Raptors will travel to face the Houston Rockets. This season, Houston has a 13-38 record and it seems like nothing is going well, placing them last in the Western Conference. For the Raptors, head coach Nick Nurse has led his team to the playoffs in three of his first four seasons in that position, however, that is currently in jeopardy
The team’s leading scorer, Jalen Green, who was selected second overall in 2021, averages 21.7 points per game, a rise of four points over his rookie campaign. Calf pain has kept Green out of action. With 5.6 assists per game and 19.2 points per game, Kevin Porter Jr. is the team’s second-best scorer. The fourth-year pro would set a career high with 19.2 points over the course of the entire season. Unfortunately, Porter’s foot injury will keep him out until at least the weekend.
The Rockets are into this game with strong momentum after managing to win back-to-back games without their top scorers. Only three times this season has Houston entered a game with a two-game winning streak, so we can anticipate that the struggling Raptors will be fully focused during this game due to their previous play.
Let’s check the latest picks, NBA news, stats and NBA expert picks for Raptors vs Rockets. We’ve plenty of NBA predictions for you to consider.
For the Raptors Pascal Siakam is the top scorer with 24.9 PPG, second in rebounds with 8.0, and second in assists with 6.2 per game. Siakam missed ten games in the season’s beginning but has since returned to health. With 2.1 steals per game and 16.9 points per game, O.G. Anunoby is fourth on the team. Anunoby’s wrist injury will keep him out of a few more games.
The franchise expectations dictate that the Raptors will be in the playoffs even though they are not there yet. The Rockets may run out of gas in this game, and All-Star snub Pascal Siakam might have everything in his hands to lead Toronto to a decisive victory against Houston.
