Rockets vs Jazz prediction

Nether the Rockets or Jazz have anything to play for at this stage, so I'm always hesitant to get involved this time of year. With that said, the Rockets are still competing and playing to win, while the Jazz have won 2 games since February 27. The Jazz are in complete tank mode and focused on getting the best possible picks for the NBA Draft. The Rockets are still playing their key guys, and they're a top-5 cover team in the NBA at 56.4 percent. I'll lay the reasonable number with the Rockets on the road.

Randy’s Pick Houston Rockets -5.5
