We were on Houston the other night in Chicago. They had the game in hand but blew a 17-point lead late and lost. That game was on the road where this team has had trouble closing. At home, it's another story. They are 24-6 here and they do it with stifling defense. The absence of McGrady hasn't slowed them at all. The Raptors are bad on the road, posting an 11-22 SU and 13-19 ATS record. They have very little defense so I expect this one to get out of hand early. The Raptors are just 10-21 ATS this season vs. winning teams. Houston is much better and rolling. They win big here.
