Randy’s Free Pick
The Pelicans are banged up and while McCollum and Ingram are expected to play, they're not 100 percent. The Pels are coming off a rough week, and Denver isn't a place where teams get back on track. The Denver Nuggets win at home by an average of 10.7 points while shooting 52.1 percent from the field. A bit of a thick line, but I have to side with the Nuggets here.
