Randy’s Pick
The 76ers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home and their starters may get some run since they haven't played since Monday. However, the 76ers haven't played a lick of defense through 3 games, especially when it comes to defending the outside shot. The Hawks have won 3 of their 4 efforts and their defense has been respectable. I've been more impressed with the Hawks in preseason action. Give me the free bucket.
