Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are off to a fine start offensively, they have the rest advantage, and now the players should have an added pep in their step with the trade for James Harden. The Orlando Magic are playing well through 3 games, but this is a tough schedule spot after playing last night. It was an emotional game where the Magic lost on the last shot, and it could be tough for a young team to get off the canvas so quickly. Suggs was very disappointed after missing the tying shot at the buzzer. Give me the Clippers and the reasonable chalk.
