Houston at Toronto 7:30 ET
Raptors over Rockets- The Rockets appear to be peaking at the right time as they have moved ahead of the slumping Memphis Grizzlies for the second seed in the NBA West as they have won four of their last five and seven of eight. These two met once this season a 98-76 home win for Houston and they were without Dwight Howard for that one. Howard will mostly likely sit this one out as well as the Rockets are okaying the second ob back-to-back games off Sunday's win at Washington. Toronto has won seven straight at home against the Rockets and will be 'up' for this encounter. Take the RAPTORS!
