Randy’s Free Pick
The Phoenix Suns are dealing with a roster mess after making trades, and having guys injured and playing on the end of a back to back doesn’t help them here. The Indiana Pacers have issues of their own, but at least they’re at home, have the rest advantage and are the healthier side. The Suns need to get guys in the mix before I can back them in spots like this. Give me the Pacers.
