Randy’s Pick

The San Antonio Spurs are falling off a cliff offensively, and they once again won't have their best player in Victor Wembanyama. It's not attractive getting behind the Spurs without Wemby. The Detroit Pistons are one of the better offensive teams in the summer league through 3 games, and they have legit NBA talent on their roster. The Pistons should win this game if they play their key guys. I'll lay the bucket.
