Randy’s Free Pick
The New Orleans Pelicans have been hit or miss these last few weeks since Zion has gone down and now McCollum is listed questionable, which means they could be without two of their top three players. The Los Angeles Lakers may not have LeBron again, and they're not lighting the world on fire, but they're healthy outside of that and with the additions they made at the deadline, there's no reason they can't win this game at home. They need the win if we're being honest. I'll lay the bucket.
