Randy’s Free Pick
The New Orleans Pelicans should be given the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but the bottom line is they've been shaky at best since Zion went down. The Orlando Magic are a young bunch that's finding ways to win and cover games as of late, and they lose as underdogs by an average of 2.4 points. The Magic make bettors money. Give me the points.
