Randy’s Free Pick
The Los Angeles Clippers remain a team I'm not confident to back, and now they're losing their last 5 games by an average of 6.6 points. I don't trust the Clippers due to their inconsistent ways. The Sacramento Kings have been far and away more consistent, and they win by an average of 6.7 points in the favorite role. The Kings come through in these spots more times than not. Give me the Kings and reasonable number.
Randy’s Pick Sacramento Kings -4.5
