The Philadelphia 76ers are one of those teams struggling to field a complete roster due to various reasons and it's hard to back them until things return to normal. The Atlanta Hawks aren't living up to expectations and aren't a team I'm thrilled to lay chalk with right now. However, backing a 76ers team that you're not sure what the lineup is going to look like simply isn't an option. It's Hawks or pass for me.
