Hawks to sit Teague, Carroll, Millsap against 76ers
Matt Marton / USA TODAY Sports
Winners of 22 of their last 24 games, the red-hot Atlanta Hawks are willing to test their luck on Tuesday against the lowly Philadelphia 76ers.
All three of point guard Jeff Teague, swingman DeMarre Carroll and forward Paul Millsap will sit out Tuesday, reports Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitutional.
The Hawks have played like the league's best team over the last two months and could probably afford to rest three key starters against the 76ers, who are just 7-29 on the season.
In their place, the Hawks will likely turn to Dennis Schroder at point guard, Thabo Sefolosha on the wing and Mike Muscala in the froncourt.
