Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been in decent shape as they've won two of their last three games overall, and they will be eager to keep it going after routing the Nets in a 133-109 road win last night. Zaccharie Risacher led the team with 38 points on 15 of 20 shooting, Trae Young added 24 points with 12 assists, while Onyeka Okongwu chipped in with 14 points and 15 rebounds. As a team, the Hawks shot 57 percent from the field and 15 of 36 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Nets from the start and dominated from the tipoff. They took a 24-point lead into halftime, which allowed them to rest a couple of starters early and give more minutes to their bench players.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in terrible form as they've lost 18 of their last 21 games overall, but they will be feeling better after they snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 122-103 road win over the Wizards on Wednesday. Jeff Dowtin Jr led the team with 30 points on 11 of 15 shooting off the bench, Lonnie Walker added 24 points, while Adem Bona and Quentin Grimes each scored 17 points. As a team, the 76ers shot just 42 percent from the field and 16 of 50 from the 3-point line as they traded shots with the Wizards in a tightly contested first half. Before they caught fire with 69 points in the second half to pull away and make it look easy in the end.

Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson, and Larry Nance Jr, while the 76ers are keeping eyes on Quentin Grimes, Justin Edwards, and Alex Reese, who are all questionable for this one. The 76ers looked great in their big win over the lowly Wizards in their last game, but they were ice-cold before that game. I think they will struggle against the Hawks, who still have plenty to play for with the Play-In tournament just around the corner. The line is hefty, but the Hawks looked great in last night's dominant win over the Nets, and I think they'll stay hot with another win here.
