Randy’s Free Pick

The Utah Jazz have shown signs over these last couple of weeks of falling off a bit. Regardless, the Minnesota Timberwolves can't afford to blow games like this if they're serious about making a playoff push. At home, the Timberwolves just can't lose this game. It's that simple. I'll lay the bucket with the Timberwolves.
