Randy’s Free Pick
I’m not excited to lay chalk with the Charlotte Hornets, but they are playing improved ball lately, and they have had covering success lately. The Detroit Pistons aren’t winning, don’t play well overall, and they lose on the road by an average of 8.8 points. This is a game I’d pass, but I’d lean Hornets if forced to pick.
