Randy’s Pick
The Atlanta Hawks are on the end of a back to back and have had issues scoring to begin with, so I’d assume those issues will continue on tired legs. The Philadelphia 76ers are playing with great pace and are one of the few teams that’s had no issues scoring the ball. With the rest advantage, this feels like an ideal spot for the 76ers. I’ll lay the bucket.
