Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Houston Rockets may be coming off back to back loses, but they’re still one of the more talented teams in the summer league and their offense has been rolling. The Portland Trail Blazers have been dreadful offensively through four summer league games, and they have a point differential of -4.5 points. I have to side with the team that’s shown us more up to this point. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Rockets.
