Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
TV: NBA League Pass
Previous Games:
-
Hawks: Dominated Brooklyn last night 133-109
-
76ers: Snapped 12-game skid with 122-103 win over Wizards
Head-to-Head:
Atlanta has won both previous meetings this season, each by double digits. With Philadelphia eliminated from playoff contention and resting key players, the Hawks have a significant edge coming into this one—even on the second night of a back-to-back.
Atlanta Hawks Breakdown:
The Hawks come into this game with momentum after a statement win against Brooklyn where they shot 57% from the field. Zaccharie Risacher continues to impress, dropping 38 points on 75% shooting, while Trae Young remains the heartbeat of the offense, averaging 24.0 PPG and 12.8 APG over his last 10 games. Atlanta is averaging over 123 points per game in that span and still has something to play for—locking in their Play-In Tournament seeding.
Key Players:
-
Zaccharie Risacher: 38 PTS, 15-20 FG vs. BKN
-
Trae Young: 24 PTS, 12 AST
-
Onyeka Okongwu: 14 PTS, 15 REB
Philadelphia 76ers Breakdown:
Philadelphia has nothing left to play for and is running a skeleton crew with Joel Embiid out and Quentin Grimes questionable. Though they snapped their skid against Washington, it’s tough to trust a team that has lost 9 of their last 10 and ranks near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency. They’ve allowed 117.3 points per game over the last 10 while scoring just 107.6. Expect heavy minutes from unproven players like Jeff Dowtin Jr. and Adem Bona.
Key Players:
-
Jeff Dowtin Jr.: 30 PTS vs. WAS
-
Lonnie Walker IV: 24 PTS
-
Quentin Grimes: Questionable (shoulder), 18.7 PPG in last 10

Exact Score Prediction:
Atlanta Hawks 126 – Philadelphia 76ers 111
Our Best Bet:
Over 240.5 (-110)
While Atlanta on the spread is tempting, the best value lies in the over. The Hawks have been lighting it up offensively, and Philadelphia’s defensive woes continue with a thin rotation and little motivation. Atlanta has scored 133, 121, 123, and 127 in four of their last six games, while Philly has allowed 117+ in six of their last eight. The pace should stay high with limited defensive effort, making this total beatable even if the Sixers don't fully keep up.
