Rockets at Raptors live stream: How to watch online

The Toronto Raptors (47-17) will host the Houston Rockets (51-13) on Friday night. Here is how to watch this NBA game online.

The best team in the East meets the best team in the Western Conference on Friday night in what could potentially be an NBA Finals preview. The Toronto Raptors host the Houston Rockets in the premier game of the NBA schedule on Friday. Fans in Canada can watch the game on Sporsnet One, while fans in the Houston area can watch the game on ATTSN-SW.

Toronto has won six straight and 13 of their last 14 games to increase their lead over the Boston Celtics. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry continue to be the heartbeat of the Raptors offense combining for 40.2 points per game. A large reason Toronto is first in the east is their bench that has been able to take advantage of other team’s second units. However, the Raptors depth will be tested on Friday. OG Anunoby is questionable with an ankle injury and Delon Wright is questionable with a toe injury. Malcolm Miller will likely continue to start for Anunoby but losing another ball handler off the bench could affect the unit. Dwane Casey will likely give Norman Powell a greater role carrying the ball. However, Powell has struggled ever since signing an extension.

The Rockets enter Friday nights game riding a 17 game winning streak but are only one game ahead of Golden State in the Western Conference. James Harden is the frontrunner for league MVP this season, averaging 30.9 points and 8.9 assists per game. Harden and Chris Paul are both top five in NBA in assists per game this season. In addition to his passing prowess, Paul is averaging 18.8 points per game, slightly more than Eric Gordon, who is averaging 18.6 points. Houston’s ability to throw multiple scoring options at other teams makes them tough to defend. Clint Capella continues to get better for the Rockets as their primary player in the post. The Swiss big man is averaging 14.3 points and 11 rebounds per game.
