Randy’s Free Pick
The Atlanta Hawks are playing their best ball of the season right now, and getting them in the underdog role is intriguing given their current form. However, the Jazz continues to be feisty, and they're at their best at home, where they win by an average of 5.1 points. The line is small. Give me the Jazz and the reasonable number.
Randy’s Pick Utah Jazz -1.5
