Randy’s Pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been the more fun team through two games, and the Hawks are having issues scoring. However, the Timberwolves have been a mess defensively through two games, and it's hard to get behind them in the favorite role when they're not getting stops. Buckets are key in these meaningless games. I'm leaning toward the Hawks and free points.
