Randy’s Free Pick

I’m not running to the window to back either of these up and down teams, but the Raptors did just beat the Knicks last week on the road. You’d think the Raptors would have the edge at home. The New York Knicks continue to be hit or miss, and they do lose in the underdog role by an average of 3.2 points. I’ll take a shot with the Raptors because of home court.
