Randy’s Free Pick
The Washington Wizards have played the better ball over the last week, and the Raptors aren’t a team I trust most nights, especially on the road or as a favorite. Two hit or miss teams, and you’re not sure which side is going to show up from night to night. Give me the home team and the free point.
