Randy’s Free Pick

The Boston Celtics are the better team, obviously, and they have the horses to blow the doors off at home, but they've also been shaky these last couple of weeks and have some weird losses. Also, it feels like every game with the Los Angeles Lakers lately comes down to the wire, and they did get AD back. This line feels a little disrespectful if we're being honest. Give me the Lakers and the points.
