Randy’s Pick
The Memphis Grizzlies continue to pile up the losses, and they’re 5-8 ATS despite being underdogs on a nightly basis. The Houston Rockets aren’t having the best week, but they’ve still been respectable over the last couple of weeks, and they’ve been competitive even in losses. The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t going to see better results until they get healthy, and right now, half their roster is on the injury list. Give me the Rockets and the reasonable chalk.
