Randy’s Free Pick

This is a lot of points for the Sacramento Kings on the road, but they continue to win and cover numbers, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 6.9 points. The Houston Rockets continue to look like a team that's in tank mode, and they're losing their last 5 games by an average of 9.8 points. The Kings are 9-5-1 ATS this season when favorites of 5 or more points. I'll lay the chalk.
