Randy’s Pick
The Los Angeles Lakers being favored in this spot is weird because they've been underwhelming up to this point, they can't score, and they just got their boots smoked by the Grizzlies. The Los Angeles Clippers are riding a 3-game winning streak and their defense has been on point. You can also argue the Clippers will have the best player on the floor. Give me the free bucket.
