Randy’s Free Pick
The Indiana Pacers are banged up, on the end of a back to back, and are probably going to be feeling it after a massive comeback against the Bulls. The Orlando Magic continue to be a sneaky team that hangs around most nights, and they’re losing at home by an average of just 0.5 points. The Magic have a serious rest advantage, and they’re the healthier side. I’ll lay the points.
