Randy’s Free Pick
The Minnesota Timberwolves aren't the most trustworthy team in the world, and they're banged up. However, the Rockets look more and more like a team that's in tank mode, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 15.8 points while allowing 51.6 percent shooting. I have no choice but to lay the chalk with the home team. The Rockets are getting destroyed nightly.
