Randy’s Pick
The Houston Rockets are the more talented team and should be favored, assuming they play their entire squad. However, we're getting free points with an undefeated Jazz squad. One of the best offensive teams in this summer league, the value is with the Jazz and the free points. Should be a tight, explosive contest. I want the points in my pocket.
