The 5-seed Atlanta Hawks and 1-seed Philadelphia 76ers play Game 5 of their Eastern Conference second-round series Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Hawks vs. 76ers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Hawks bounced back with a 103-100 victory in Game 4, winning outright as three-point underdogs. It’s now essentially a best-of-three series heading into Game 5.
The 76ers had won the previous two games by 16 points each, so Game 4 was a little bit of a shock. Philly had the opportunity to put Atlanta away, and now this series looks like it could go the distance.

Hawks at 76ers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
76ers 113, Hawks 109
Money line (ML)
The 76ers (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just not worth the risk especially as the Hawks (+200) won outright last time out.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The HAWKS +6.5 (-110) is quite attractive. It didn’t look that way 48 hours ago as the 76ers -6.5 (-110) entered Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead looking to win and push Atlanta to the brink. Instead, Atlanta leveled the series, and suddenly the Hawks are alive and well.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 223.5 (-110) is the lean here. Game 4 was an Under, and the Under is 4-1 in five road playoff games for the Hawks. The Over/Under has alternated in each of the past four games for the 76ers. At home, the lean has been to the Over for Philly. So don’t go too heavily on the Under here.
