Randy’s Free Pick
I'm not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the Portland Trail Blazers as much as the next guy, but the Rockets are terrible. The Houston Rockets are in full on tank mode and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 15 points, and they lose on the road by an average of 11.9 points. The Rockets don't cover numbers despite being big underdogs nightly. It's Trail Blazers or pass for me.
