Randy’s Free Pick

The Washington Wizards should be favored at home, but this is a lot of chalk for a below average team that gets outscored at home by an average of 1 point. The Magic have had great covering success on the road and despite the losses they lose by an average of just 3.8 points. The Magic compete regardless of the results. Give me the points.
