Randy’s Free Pick
The Houston Rockets have been a mess all year, and they’re not a team I’m excited to back. However, the 76ers do allow teams to hang around from time to time, and they’re winning their last 5 games by an average of 1.6 points. The 76ers have some big games coming up, so this could be a bit of a look ahead spot. It’s the points or pass for me.
