The Atlanta Hawks will travel to the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday, April 11, 2025. The Hawks, sitting at 37-42, are aiming to secure a higher seed in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, while the 76ers, with a 23-56 record, have struggled throughout the season, currently on a 12-game losing streak.
Atlanta is coming off a 119-112 loss to the Orlando Magic, where Onyeka Okongwu posted a career-high 30 points along with 14 rebounds. Trae Young, averaging 24.1 points and 11.6 assists per game, remains the focal point of the Hawks' offense. Philadelphia, despite their poor season, will look to finish strong, with Quentin Grimes leading the team with 14.6 points per game. In their previous matchup on March 10, the Hawks defeated the 76ers 132-123, with Dyson Daniels contributing 25 points for Atlanta and Grimes leading Philly with 35 points.
Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Dyson Daniels Over 14.5 Points
Daniels is averaging 14.2 points per game, marking a substantial increase from his previous season's average of 5.8 points per game. Daniels boasts a field goal percentage of 49.4%, including a three-point shooting percentage of 34.9%. His free-throw percentage stands at 59.7%. He has scored 14+ points in 5 of his last 6 games. This Hawks team has been looking for other scoring options other than Trae Young, and Daniels has been a reliable option. I’m surprised oddsmakers haven’t adjusted his line yet.
Lonnie Walker Over 17.5 Points
Lonnie Walker is averaging 11.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in the 2024-25 NBA season. He has a field goal percentage of 41.7%. Lonnie Walker has stepped up in a big way as of late. With how many injuries this Sixers team is dealing with, they’ve needed other guys to perform, and Walker has been one of those guys. He’s coming off a 24-point game against the Wizards and a 29-point game against the Heat. I don’t see him slowing down in this one.
Onyeka Okongwu Over 13.5 Points
Okongwu is averaging 13.2 points per game with a field goal percentage of 57.0%. This marks an improvement from his previous season's average of 10.2 points per game. Okongwu's enhanced scoring has been particularly evident since he assumed the starting center role following Clint Capela's season-ending injury in late January. In this expanded role, he has averaged 14.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. He’s coming off two massive games where he scored 27 points against the Utah Jazz and 30 points against the Orlando Magic. I’m looking to ride the hot hand in this one.
