Randy’s Free Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers are undermanned and on the end of a back to back, a spot that hurts teams dealing with injuries the most. They're already asking a lot of guys and now have to play on tired legs. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a young bunch that has a knack of covering numbers as underdogs. At home and the healthier side, I'll grab the free bucket with OKC.
