Randy’s Pick
The Detroit Pistons have been a bit better than expected, while the Suns are still dealing with a banged up Booker and no Bradley Beal. I’m just not laying chalk with the Suns on the road, given their current form and the fact they’re still down two of their best three players. The Pistons are defending well, and they’re a top-10 three point shooting team. Give me the home dog.
