Randy’s Free Pick
Quick turnaround for the Heat, who are fresh off an emotional win, and they’ve had issues with consistency all year. The Heat also plays down to their competition and have had trouble with the Magic at times. Still, we’re only laying a bucket with the better team, a team that’s fighting to stay out of the play-in games. The Heat need to take advantage of spots like this. Give me the Heat.
