Randy’s Free Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are probably the better team and should be favored, but they've been incontinent as all hell and I have a hard time backing them in the favorite role. Say what you want about the Los Angeles Lakers, but they continue to play hard, and it feels like every game for them over the last 2 weeks have come down to the wire. Knowing that, I'm going to grab the points with the Lakers.
