The Atlanta Hawks should probably be favored given they’re the healthier team and the 76ers are banged up on the end of a back to back. However, the Hawks keep showing that they’re frauds during this losing stretch. Blowing a big lead to the Rockets and losing at home to an undermanned Heat team. No, thanks. At home, give me the 76ers in this toss up contest.
