Randy’s Free Pick
It's tough to take the Portland Trail Blazers seriously against playoff caliber teams as they're still down Grant and Simons, putting too much pressure on Lillard to do everything. The Sacramento Kings consistently win the games they're supposed to win, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 6.4 points. Injuries are key here. Give me the Kings at home and the somewhat reasonable number.
