Toronto @ Houston picks

Amen Thompson has been called for 3.4 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 more than he's been called for overall this year. The 4th-slowest tempo home offense in the NBA over the last 10 games has been the Rockets.

Cam Whitmore has converted 2.2 3-point shots per game over the last 5 games at home, 1.1 more than he's converted from three over the course of the season while playing at home. The Houston Rockets are expected to see a spike in opportunities today from competing against the 4th-fastest pace road team in the league over the last 5 games (the Toronto Raptors). The Houston Rockets rank as the best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide added opportunities for scoring and assists). Cam Whitmore has attempted 3.0 free throws per game over the last 5 games, 1.4 higher than he's attempted over the course of the year. Cam Whitmore will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing with the home court advantage usually increases stat production in all stat categories.
