Randy’s Free Pick
This is a lot of chalk to lay with the Atlanta Hawks on the road, but they’re as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they’re playing their best ball right now. The Charlotte Hornets continue to lose games comfortably, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 10.2 points. Hard to get behind the Hornets. Give me the Hawks.
