Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers have been in decent form as they’ve won four of their last five games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after running past the Pacers in a 115-105 home win on Friday. Joel Embiid led the team with 39 points on 12 of 23 shooting, Paul George added 23 points with six rebounds and five assists while VJ Edgecombe chipped in with 22 points and five assists.
As a team, the 76ers shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they wasted an 11-point lead in the third quarter and trailed early in the fourth quarter. They clamped down and held the Pacers to just five points in the final 8:23 to win comfortably in the end.

As a team, the Hawks shot 46 percent from the field and 11 of 36 from the 3-point line, but they trailed by nine points at halftime. They just couldn’t recover after the deficit ballooned in the third quarter where they got outscored by 17. 35-19. There was just no stopping the Pistons who were allowed to shoot 58 percent from the field and the Hawks didn’t do themselves any favors by committing 20 turnovers.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The 76ers are still missing Kelly Oubre Jr, Tyrese Maxey is listed as doubtful and Joel Embiid has been ruled as questionable, while the Hawks have ruled out Kristaps Porzingis, Trae Young with Nickeil Alexander-Walker listed as questionable. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff, but the 76ers are still the team in better form, and I think they represent great value if the Hawks don’t have Alexander-Walker available. This should be a close one, but I am leaning towards the 76ers to pull off the minor upset on the road.
