Randy’s Free Pick
The Los Angeles Clippers are having a nice week, but they’ve been far more inconsistent over the course of the season that they’re hard to trust on the road. The Atlanta Hawks are as healthy as they’ve been all year and their offense has really picked up. If the Hawks are ready to turn the corner, this is a spot where they show up at home. I’ll grab the point in what should be a fun matchup.
