Their last loss was against the Chicago Bulls while their 7 wins in that span came against the Charlotte Hornets, the Miami Heat, the Atlanta Hawks, the Heat again, the Bulls, the Hawks again, and the Hornets again in their last game. They still have a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night that needs to be played first with that result still pending so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back on Thursday night for them.

The Rockets are coming into this game with a 15-39 record overall and they are 8-17 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 3 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

The Raptors are coming into this game playing very well recently and they have been winning a lot of games. They had a losing record at the beginning of the new year but they have been getting healthier recently and have been very good now that most of their players are back. The Rockets are trending in the complete opposite way as they are one of the worst teams in the Western Conference and in the NBA this season and they have lost 3 straight games coming into this one, and those losses were all against teams in the bottom 5 of their conference. The Raptors are not a bad team and they have been showing why they are still good enough to be a playoff team this season. They will continue to win games and play with the determination to complete their goal of making it back to the playoffs after missing out last season. The Raptors should win this game by double digits handing the Rockets another bad loss here.

"For a while there it just seemed like it didn't seem to be a go-to move for him anymore. I think a lot of it now has to do with mindset, energy and the spacing on the floor." - Nick Nurse on his team’s win against the Hornets on Monday night.

 

 

"We just couldn't hit our shots. Even layups, we were missing wide-open bunnies, so it was one of those games where the ball wasn't going in the hole." - Kevin Porter Jr. on their loss against the Pelicans on Tuesday night.
