The Toronto Raptors fought hard in a 95-94 loss to a shorthanded Celtics side on Sunday. I don't think they have a enough gas left in the tank to keep up with the high-tempo Houston Rockets here just one day later. Note that the Raptors are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 1-4 ATS in their last five games playing on one days rest and 0-7 ATS in their last seven Tuesday games.

The Rockets are flying high, coming off six straight victories and covering the spread in all but one game during that stretch (a 117-113 win against the Cavs, closing as a 5.5-point favorite). The Rockets are streaky, but well worth to ride when they're shooting well from the perimeter. That's certainly been the case lately, and I would not be surprised to see the score run away in the end here and I think the home team will win this one by double-digits.

My selection is a 10* play on Houston Rockets.
