Randy’s Free Pick
The Memphis Grizzlies are on the end of a back to back and spent a lot of energy trying to make a fourth quarter comeback against the Suns. The Sacramento Kings are being disrespected with this line when you consider they continue to play good ball, and they win at home by an average of 5.5 points while shooting 51.1 percent from the field. I'll gladly grab the free bucket with the home team.
Randy’s Pick Sacramento Kings +2
