ASA top play on 10* OVER 232 Houston Rockets at Toronto Raptors, 7:40 PM ET - These two teams recently met in Houston with the Rockets winning big 135-106 which went Over the Total of 232. There was one outlier in that game in that the Rockets shot 595 as a team which is well above their season average of 46.4%. But the Raptors shot below their season average of 48% with a 44% night from the field. What we did learn from that game is both teams prefer an up-tempo pace as there were a combined 184 field goal attempts which is above league average of 178.8. Over their last five games the Rockets have played faster than normal with 102.5 possessions per game. They have an EFG% of 54.4%. Toronto has an EF% of 54.6% on the season but in their last five games that number improves to 56.1% which is a top 10 percentage. We don’t expect Houston to get to 135 in this game, but we are also betting the Raptors score more than 106. Toronto averages 114.5PPG at home this season. Toronto has struggled defensively of late as they have allowed 135 or more in four straight games and just allowed 117 to a Charlotte team that has struggled offensively this month. We are betting OVER in this one.
