Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are the better team on paper and should be favored, but they're still a banged up team that also didn't play a lick of defense in their opener. If the Trail Blazers weren't the Trail Blazers, they could've easily lost their opening contest. The Utah Jazz showed flashes in their season opener, and I expect a better, more consistent effort on their home court. This should be a fun back and forth contest. Give me the Jazz and the free buckets.
