Hawks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 130, Hawks 121

Moneyline

PASS.

At -350 favorites, there is no profit to be made betting on Philadelphia, a team that is 7-3 at home facing a Hawks squad that is 6-5 on the road and possibly playing without Young.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -7.5 (-115).

Philly is 13-7 ATS this season while Atlanta is 5-15 ATS while covering in just 1 of its last 10 games, including 0-4 ATS in its last 4 road games. The Hawks rank 26th in the NBA in defensive rating and will struggle going up against Embiid and company in front of their home crowd. When Embiid is playing as an MVP-caliber star, Philadelphia is a difficult team to stop.

Over/Under

BET OVER 241.5 (-110).

Philadelphia has an Over record of 13-6-1 this season including 7-2 in its last 9 games most recently going over 241.5 in Monday night's victory. The 76ers have scored at least 119 points in 7 of their last 10 games, scoring 138 points in their last home game.

The Hawks have an Over record of 12-8 this season, hitting the Over of 246.5 and 250.5 in their last 2 road games. Atlanta has scored at least 121 points in 5 of its last 10 games, scoring as many as 152 points in regulation.
