Randy’s Free Pick
The Indiana Pacers are coming off a tough loss last night to the Lakers, and I’m sure that doesn’t help their confidence given their recent struggles already. The Sacramento Kings continue to win games and cover numbers, and it feels like oddsmakers keep disrespecting them with these lines. Only a bucket with the rested, healthier, better team? I’ll lay it.
