Randy’s Free Pick
The New York Knicks are the better team and should be favored, but they also continue to take a step back and right when you’re ready to believe in them, they give you a reason to pause. The Orlando Magic are covering numbers left and right, and they’re a young team that’s gaining confidence with these positive results. Give me the home dog.
