Let's dive into the Hawks vs Sixers match-up now.
Philadelphia -4.5 Alt. Point Spread (+172)
Both teams are playing on a second night of a back-to-back here with the season series tied at 1-1. Philadelphia has struggled with injuries lately with their 3 best players Embiid, Harden and Maxey all out, but they've somehow managed to string together 3 wins in 4 games. There's also a decent chance Embiid plays here, he is a game-time decision after recovering from a foot injury. He torched the Hawks in the last meeting with 42 points and 10 boards, it's safe to say that Atlanta doesn't really have anyone on their roster to counter that with. Clint Capela could also miss tonight's game, he is their only consistent option when it comes to guarding the paint and rebounding. This team is only 1-3 over their last 4 games, losing to the likes of Houston the other night was not a good look for them. I have Philadelphia winning by at least 5 points here.
