Randy’s Pick
I considered the New York Knicks and the free bucket at home, especially with it looking like RJ Barrett is going to be cleared. The Knicks are at full strength now. However, there's a chance the Los Angeles Clippers will get James Harden for this game. This feels like a spot where the Clippers can flaunt their new star-studded team and put on a show at MSG. There's far more upside with the Clippers. I'll lay the bucket with the road team.
Randy’s Pick Los Angeles Clippers -2
