Randy’s Free Pick
The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the end of a back to back, but they’re the better team playing the better ball, and they win in the favorite role by an average of 7.3 points. The Cavs simply win the games they’re supposed to win, and you can argue this line is soft. The Wizards are dealing with injuries to Beal and Kuzma. Give me the Cavs and the small chalk.
