Prediction
76ers 117, Hawks 114
Moneyline (ML)
Record-wise, the Hawks (+275) are one of the worst teams in the NBA. The 76ers (-357) are slipping in the Eastern Conference, but they’re clearly the better squad entering this matchup. Philadelphia is only 4-5 in its last nine games and won’t have Simmons Monday night; Harris is also doubtful.
This isn’t a completely lopsided matchup despite the moneyline making it seem that way. The 76ers are far too risky at the chalky price for the way they’ve been playing and the injuries they’ve suffered. PASS on the moneyline.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The 76ers enter as 7.5-point favorites over the Hawks. It’s their third meeting of the season, and in the previous two, the Hawks covered spreads of +6.5 and +6. They even won outright last month, 127-117. With Young leading the charge, the Hawks will stay in this game.
The 76ers defense will struggle without Simmons and Harris on the court, but the offense will do enough to beat Atlanta. Take the HAWKS +7.5 (-106) to cover the spread in a tight game and stay within 7 points.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Over/Under is 228.5 points, which accounts for absences on both sides. Atlanta’s defense is one of the worst in the league, while Philadelphia ranks third. The 76ers will most likely be down two of their top players, though, which hurts the defense.
The total has gone over in four of the last five meetings between these two teams, and in 13 of the Hawks’ last 18 games overall. Take the OVER 228.5 (-110) in this one.
