Houston Rockets vs. Toronto Raptors Preview: How to Watch, Injury Reports, Lineups, More
The Houston Rockets (22-25) will play the third and final game of their current home stand on Friday against the Toronto Raptors (17-30) in the Toyota Center. The Rockets will be looking to get back on track before they have to go on the road.
The Rockets fell to the New Orleans Pelicans in their last game with a score of 110-99. But even though Houston ended with the loss, that does not mean that the Rockets were without good performances in the game.
Jalen Green had his third game with 30 or more points in his last four outings, as the young guard is playing his best basketball so far this season. He finished with 31 points, as well as three steals and two blocks. Rookie forward Cam Whitmore also continues to be effective off the bench, as he finished with 17 points on 6-12 shooting in just 20 minutes of play.
The Rockets will be looking to get back in the win column ahead of an upcoming four-game road trip, and they will get that opportunity against a struggling Raptors team. They have lost eight of their last ten games, as their roster has been drastically change, and the Rockets will look to take advantage of that.
