Randy’s Free Pick
I’m not trying to back the San Antonio Spurs as much as the next guy, but I’m certainly not laying chalk with the Pistons. At home or not, these are two of the worst teams in the league that are in tank mode, and laying chalk with either side just doesn’t feel good. There are better games on a loaded NBA card, but if forced to pick, I’m taking the free bucket.
