Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Preview
Sat, Apr 8th. 00:30 (UK time)
The Hawks have secured a play-in spot with their 41-39 losses record. They can not enter the top 6 places even if they win their remaining games. Recently they’ve been playing very well, they’re the 3rd offence in the NBA with 118.2 points per game while scoring the most field goals per game with 44.5 on a nightly basis.
T. Young has improved his ball handling and decision making which led the Hawks to be the 3rd team with the least turnovers in the whole NBA with only 14.1 per game. They will surely be a landmine in both Play-in and Play-off brackets. D. Hunter will not be playing tonight as he is out due to a knee injury.
The Sixers are playing their 2nd back-to-back game tonight, losing to the Heat 101-129 last night. Their form has been questionable in the later parts of the season but they managed to maintain the top 3 spot due to their sheer quality. J. Embiid will surely have a good game tonight as the Hawks are one of the worst paint-defending teams in the league, allowing 55 points per game from close range.
Although fatigue may have been present for the Sixers, they rested most of their star players in the blowout loss to the Heat. We believe tonight they will have to pick it up a bit before the playoffs and cover the spread. A straight win is very welcoming on 4.25 odds, we would not give these odds to any team in the East against Philly without injury issues. T. Maxey, the explosive Sixers guard will be absent tonight due to a recent neck injury he suffered.
Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Best Bet
The Handicap of +10.5 on the Sixers is unrealistic in our eyes, especially since we don’t have any major updates for the injury lists. These odds would be true if the Sixers would miss any of their major starts but for now, they seem like odds with a lot of value. We are taking the Sixers to cover the handicap, as have not lost against the Hawks by 10+ points in more than 3 years.
- Selection: 76ers +10.5
- Best Odds: 1.90 (Bet 365)
- Stakes: 5/10
Odds as of 3:00 pm April 7th 2023. Odds may now differ.
