Randy’s Free Pick
This line has shot up quickly in favor of the Toronto Raptors, and I’m going to follow that steam. The Utah Jazz aren’t playing well this week, and things usually don’t improve on the road. The Raptors also didn’t trade any of their key guys who were in trade conversations, which typically results in better play, knowing they’re safe for the rest of the year. The Raptors could take a leap. I’ll lay the buckets.
