76ers vs Hawks Prediction
The Hawks are playing the better ball at the moment and are a team we’ve cashed on this season. The problem is the Hawks are down Young, KP, and others. While the 76ers have injuries of their own, it’s something they’ve dealt with all year. The 76ers are still finding ways to keep their head above water, and they’re 11-6-1 ATS. There’s also a chance Edgecombe returns, which would be a nice boost.
The Hawks have won five straight games against the 76ers, so there should be some motivation to end the drought. The 76ers haven’t beat the Hawks since December 2023. That doesn’t even sound right. Pick ’em game, I’ll roll with the 76ers at home given the Hawks injury report.
