Randy’s Pick

I don't want to back the Washington Wizards as much as the next guy, but this is a ton of points. The Milwaukee Bucks are just 6-8-1 ATS on the season, and they haven't shown much heart on the defensive side. Can the Bucks get enough stops to cover these big numbers? I guess we'll find out. If forced to pick, give me the Wizards and the boatload of points. Yuck.
