Randy’s Pick

Lot of points for a summer league game where lines are usually closer to a single bucket. However, as I've said in previous write-ups, the Houston Rockets are absolutely loaded with young talent, and it seems like everybody is playing well across the board. Whether we see Smith or Eason again or not, the Rockets have several guys who can contribute at a high level, a team stocking up with young talented guys. Give me the Rockets to stay hot.
