Randy’s Pick
The Philadelphia 76ers have been covering numbers this season, but they're fresh off back to back losses and Joel Embiid is questionable with a hip injury. The Atlanta Hawks are showing flashes here and there, and their offense should have a field day if the 76ers are down their best player. This line is almost a pick em for a reason. The 76ers are banged up. Give me the Hawks at home in this toss up.
