The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 30-24 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have looked good on their home court too with their 15-14 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Hawks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 26-30 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the East. They have been a good road team though with their 16-15 road record this year. The Hawks have been a better road team this season while the 76ers have also been a better road team, but the 76ers do have a lot more talent and they are going to be ready to go after the week off. They went into the All-Star Break with 2 losses in a row, but they were missing Embiid in both of those games. They should have Embiid back for this one and they haven't looked bad lately as they are still 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Hawks haven't looked great lately though. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games and they went into the break with 3 losses in a row too. They will be looking to bounce back in this one as they did make some moves at the trade deadline, but a healthy 76ers team is also going to be looking to bounce back and playing better at home down the final stretch of the season is going to be a point of emphasis for them if they want to be a contender. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game.

“That was a tough stretch. I don’t know if I would say the game fell apart, but we had to put it back together as best we could. There are stretches and plays like that in games, and you have to endure them.” - Quin Snyder after his team’s loss against the Hornets in their game on Wednesday.

"Yeah, I think that anybody that's a little bit sore and dinged up has a chance here to get some treatment for the week and off their feet for a week and he would certainly be included in that, for sure." - Nick Nurse on the injury to Joel Embiid.
