Randy’s Free Pick
The Miami Heat are coming off bad loss after bad loss, and I’m quickly losing confidence in them. The Heat are losing their last 5 games by an average of 9 points, and they have issues cracking the 100 point total. The Philadelphia 76ers have been covering machines at home, and they’re playing comfortably the better ball overall. I’ll lay the points.
