The Toronto Raptors have not only clinched a playoff spot, but they’ve put themselves in a position to potentially earn the No. 4 seed thanks to a win against the 76ers. The latest Raptors odds have them positioned to blow out one of the league’s worst teams in their home finale.
Jalen Green’s Houston Rockets are waiting for the season to end, as they currently have the worst record in the NBA. Losing here could bring them one step closer to officially securing the worst record in the NBA and one of the best odds possible at winning the lottery.
This is a classic trap game. While Philly has two games against Indiana and Detroit on the resume, they could still fall out of the No. 4 seed. Toronto needs to take care of business against Houston if they want to pull off that impossible feat and secure home-court advantage in the first round.
Will the Raptors find a way to stay hot and win their 13th game in 16 tries against the Rockets? Could Houston pull off an upset win against a Raptors team that doesn’t have all of their stars healthy?

Toronto Raptors vs Houston Rockets Prediction
Even if the squad keeps Fred VanVleet on the sideline to get him healthy for the regular season, Nick Nurse has more than enough firepower to overcome a Rockets team that is spending more time photoshopping Chet Holmgren into red and black than constructing a winning basketball team.
Toronto will go up against a Rockets team that ranks near the bottom of the league in most defensive categories. With Pascal Siakam continuing his All-NBA push, Toronto should be able to push Houston aside in this one.
Raptors 122, Rockets 108
