Randy’s Free Pick
The Los Angeles Clippers are getting too much respect with this line, as they've underachieved all season and they're still banged up. It's just hard to get a proper feel on the Clippers from night to night. The Philadelphia 76ers have not only been more consistent, but they don't have a single player on their injury report. Give me the 76ers.
