Hawks at 76ers picks and predictionsPrediction
Hawks 121, 76ers 119
BET HAWKS (-102).
Atlanta is narrowly better than Philadelphia in almost every category on both sides of the ball, but the Hawks’ big advantage is defensively, as they are a top-5 team in opponent turnovers per game while Philly is bottom-10. Given how dominant Atlanta has been in recent matchups, the Hawks are worth a small wager here.
PASS.
If you’re not comfortable taking the Hawks straight up and want the little insurance, betting the Hawks +1.5 (-115) is fine, but you get better value just taking the Hawks to win outright.
The Hawks have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 road games, while the Sixers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Atlanta has also won 5 straight matchups against Philly and is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.
BET OVER 229.5 (-110).
Both offenses average north of 117 points per game, and both teams are toward the middle of the pack defensively as well. Look for this to be a game in which neither team stops the other, so expect a lot of the scoring.
The Over has hit in 3 of Philly’s last 4 games and is 7-3 in Atlanta’s last 10. The Over is also 8-2 in the last 10 matchups between the Hawks and 76ers.
