76ers at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 115, Hawks 109
Moneyline
BET 76ERS (+375).
Despite that the Sixers are 4-6 in their last 10 games, they are 3-2 in their last 5 — including an impressive victory against the Boston Celtics. C Joel Embiid is expected to miss Friday’s game per the Philadelphia Inquirer, but I still think that the 76ers can beat the Hawks. Embiid is a major piece to be missing, but if the rest of the squad doesn’t sit out for rest I believe they can still get this done.
Philadelphia ranks 7th in field goal percentage (48.6%) and 1st in 3-point field goal percentage (38.5%) while Atlanta ranks just 25th defensively in opponent field goal percentage (48.6%) and 9th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage (35.3). The 76ers also have a net rating of 3.1 (3rd) while the Hawks have a net rating of 0.3 (17th).
Against the spread
If you are not as confident in an outright victory with the better odds on the moneyline, then the 76ERS +10.5 (-110) spread is definitely worth a play.
The Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a winning road record. They are also just 1-3 ATS this season while playing as 10-12-point favorites.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 235.5 (-105).
The Under is 8-1 in the Sixers’ last 9 games against a team with a winning outright record, 4-1 in their last 5 games following an outright loss and 4-1 in their last 5 games when their opponent allows 100 or more points in their previous game.
The Under is 8-1 in the Hawks’ last 9 games against a team with a winning outright record, 4-0 in their last 4 Friday games and 3-2-1 in their last 6 games.
