Randy’s Free Pick

The Portland Trail Blazers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, and I just don't get it. The Trail Blazers have been in a funk these last couple of weeks, and nothing surprises me with them anymore. The Los Angeles Lakers may not win games much, but it feels like every game with them lately comes down to the wire. I want the points with the Lakers.

Randy’s Pick Los Angeles Lakers +5.5
