Randy’s Free Pick
I don’t want to lay chalk with the Charlotte Hornets as much as the next guy, but they’re at home at least, and this line is an indication of just how bad the Spurs are. The Spurs are losing their last 5 games by an average of 14.4 points, and they lose on the road by an average of 12.6 points. If the Hornets can’t win this game comfortably, MJ needs to sell the team.
