The Philadelphia 76ers have been the far and away more consistent team this season, and they’re 13-7 ATS on the year. The Atlanta Hawks are hit or miss from night to night, and it doesn’t help that they’re 5-15 ATS on the season. The 76ers have won and covered each of the last 4 games against the Hawks. Trae Young is also questionable with an illness, so it’s worth keeping an eye on. Give me the 76ers in a comfortable home victory.
