Randy’s Free Pick
I’m just not a fan of backing the New York Knicks, as right when they show progress they fall apart. I’m not falling for it anymore. The Los Angeles Clippers are as healthy and as consistent as they’ve been all year, and they’re winning their last 5 games by an average of 5.2 points. With Kawhi and PG13 on the floor, I’ll lay the bucket with the Clippers.
