Randy’s Free Pick

The Washington Wizards continue to be a competitive bunch, but I'm not sure if they can be trusted on the road against good teams. The New Orleans Pelicans are getting healthier with the return of Ingram, and they're at home, where they win by an average of 5.4 points. I'd need an extra bucket or two to consider the Wizards. Give me the Pelicans.
