76ers vs Hawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Hawks listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Hawks have looked good in their games this season with their 32-31 record overall which has them right in the middle of the East. They haven't looked great on their home court though with their 14-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the 76ers have looked good in their games this season with their 34-28 record overall which has them in the top half of the East. They have been a good road team too with their 17-12 road record this year. The 76ers have been a better road team this season than they have been a home team while the Hawks have looked better in road games compared to being at home, but the 76ers have been dealing with some injuries and they haven't looked that great lately. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they are off a win in their last one, but that was against one of the worst teams in the NBA this year, the Utah Jazz. The Hawks have looked great lately though and the moves they made at the trade deadline have really helped them on this surge. They were hovering right under .500 for most of the season, but now they have pulled themselves back over .500 and have been rolling lately. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row now. They have been beating up on a lot of bad teams lately too, but the 76ers are definitely not a top team in the East with how bad they have looked lately. The Hawks finally have some momentum on their side now while the 76ers have been struggling lately, so look for the Hawks to continue rolling here at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Hawks to cover the spread in this game.
