Result:
WIN

The Toronto Raptors have been one of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, but the schedule they face vs. what Western Conference teams face are dramatically weaker on a night in, night out basis. It stands to reason that teams from the East with a similar record of those in the West are not created equal, and the line value here is not saying that for Toronto, and thus lies with the Rockets. The Rockets have been at their best vs. strong teams as they are now 12-4 ATS in their last 16 vs. a team over .600, and they have taken care of business on home hardwood where they reside at 8-2 ATS in their last 10. This has been a home-dominated series, with the home team carrying the mail to the tune of 11-2-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Play on Houston.
