Randy’s Free Pick
I don’t trust the Chicago Bulls in the favorite role, as they’re too hit or miss, and you’re never sure which team you’re going to get. The Washington Wizards have played the better ball as of late, and they’ve covered numbers left and right on the road. We’re getting a free bucket with the team in better form. I’ll take it.
