The Hawks are coming into this game as a 3.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks are coming off of a bad loss in Washington that they will be looking to bounce back from. The Hawks have been playing very well to start their season off and they will be looking to make a statement in this game. The 76ers are dealing with a lot of distractions off of the court and they have not really beaten anybody that good to start their season. The Hawks have had a few days of rest to get ready for this game and they will be prepared to come for the win here. The best bet to place in this game is on the Hawks to cover the spread and to win the game straight up on the moneyline as they are just the better team.
