Randy’s Free Pick

The Houston Rockets don’t win and don’t cover numbers, but laying chalk with the Pistons isn’t something I’m doing. The Pistons aren’t much better than the Rockets, and they lose at home by an average of 6.6 points. If forced to pick this game, I’m going to grab the buckets with the Rockets, as laying chalk with the Pistons isn’t an option.
