Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t getting love from oddsmakers with all of these losses and the fact they’re down Batum, Embiid and Melton. However, the Hawks could be without Murray and they’re still down Capela. Also, right when the Hawks suck you in with a couple of nice wins, they get rocked in their last two games and don’t play a lick of defense. Additionally, let’s not forget the Hawks are 15-36 ATS on the season, making them the worst covering team in the NBA. I’ll grab the free buckets with the 76ers at home.
