Joes Pick To Cover The Spread

With the Houston Rockets having one of the worst two records in the NBA, I don’t see them jeopardizing their draft potential and am predicting they lose out for the rest of the season. They may cover some spreads during that run, but I don’t think it will happen tonight against the Nets. I’m laying the points with Brooklyn. Baseball betting is here!
