Randy’s Pick

As I said in my write-up yesterday, the Los Angeles Clippers have some showing and proving to do before we can consider them trustworthy. The Clippers have been a bigger letdown than anything up to this point. The Mavericks have the rest advantage, and they blew the doors off the Clippers a couple of weeks ago. The Clippers just feel a bit unserious at the moment. I'll lay the bucket with the Mavericks on the road.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
