Randy's NBA Free Pick

The Philadelphia 76ers are the better, more consistent team and should be obvious favorites. However, the 76ers aren't nearly the same team on the road as they are at home. Also, the Los Angeles Lakers have played decent ball these last couple of weeks and need to take advantage of home games if they're going to chip away in the standings. The Lakers were able to give the 76ers a run on the road, I don't see why they can't do it at home. Give me the points.
