Randy’s Pick

The Washington Wizards have won 4 straight games against the Mavericks, which is kind of surprising. Still, I have to side with the Mavs here. The Washington Wizards just aren’t a serious basketball team that plays no defense and seems to care more about having fun rather than winning. The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a rough showing last night against the Pelicans and should take care of business in spots like this if they’re serious about contending. Line is reasonable. Give me the Mavs.
