Randy’s Pick

Jonathan Kuminga and Curry are questionable for the Warriors at the time this article published, which is why the line is as soft as it is. Still, backing the Rockets isn’t an option for me. Yes, it’s just two games, but the Rockets have been horrible defensively and that’s with two games against the Magic and Spurs. Again, I don’t want to overreact to a small sample size, but the Rockets have shown us nothing up to this point. They look like they’re tanking again. Yikes. Whether Curry plays or not, give me the Warriors and the reasonable number.
