Randy’s Pick
These teams played each other on Saturday and the Rockets had their way in a 107-89 victory. The Sacramento Kings are better than that performance, but they're also still without their best player in De’Aaron Fox. The Houston Rockets have looked improved in their last couple of games, and they're a young team that thrives off confidence and has a swagger to them when things are going well. Not sure if there's much of a different result in the second meeting, especially with Fox still sidelined with an ankle issue.
Randy’s Pick Houston Rockets -1.5
