Randy’s Free Pick

I don't want to lay big chalk with the Toronto Raptors as much as the next guy, but the Pistons leave me no choice. The Detroit Pistons continue to look like a team that's in full on tank mode as they lose as underdogs by an average of 8.6 points and on the road by an average of 9 points. The Pistons also don't cover numbers despite being underdogs nightly. It's the Raptors or pass for me.
