Prediction
76ers 117, Hawks 107
Moneyline (ML)
The 76ERS (-295) are big moneyline favorites in this contest over the Hawks (+230) despite being on the road. While Philadelphia hasn’t been a strong road team this year (9-15), Atlanta has been even worse at home (7-16). With Embiid back in the lineup, look for the 76ers to dominate on offense, as they should have no problem beating this struggling Hawks’ team.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The 76ERS (-7.5, +100) are significant favorites in this game despite going 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games. That shouldn’t concern bettors too much as the Hawks have the 29th-ranked defense in the NBA. The 76ers should be able to score with ease in this contest, and their No. 2 scoring defense should have no problem slowing down Hawks PG Trae Young and company. Take the 76ers to win by at least 8 points Thursday.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this matchup is set at 228.5 points, which feels about right considering just how hot Atlanta’s offense can be from time to time. The 76ers defense should be able to slow them down some, likely keeping them under 110 points. I like the UNDER 228.5 (-121) to hit at State Farm Arena.
