The 76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Hawks are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The over is 5-1 in 76ers last 6 overall. The under is 8-3 in Hawks last 11 overall. The 76ers are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Atlanta and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The 76ers flexed their muscle in game three, playing possibly their best game of the playoffs. However, I don’t expect the 76ers to shoot 58 percent from the field again. The Hawks may be young, but they’ve shown they’re not afraid in this series and have the offense to compete. At home and in a must win situation pretty much, I like the Hawks here. Give me the free bucket.
