76ers @ Hawks tips, picks and prop bets: Dominant Embiid to lead Philly to victory
The Philadelphia 76ers (8-3) visit the Atlanta Hawks (6-5) on Friday night (0030 GMT Sat) and we’re anticipating a big performance from the visitors.
76ers @ Hawks game pick
The 76ers will be looking to bounce back from a 117-107 defeat at the hands of the Celtics when they visit the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.
That loss was to be expected given Boston were seeking revenge and now it’s Philadelphia’s turn to avenge a loss.
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are both looking to bounce back after registering just 20 points each in the loss.
Equally, the Hawks were beaten 116-114 by the Knicks as Trae Young continued his slightly disappointing start to the season.
As long as he’s not at his best, they’re going to struggle to win consistently. Either way, the 76ers matchup pretty well here.
Young managed just 15 points in the loss to the Knicks while Dejounte Murray added 13 and Clint Capela recorded just three rebounds. Not good.
The 76ers don’t score a ton of threes themselves but they have plenty of ways to hurt you. Atlanta’s poor rebounding performance against New York stands out.
The 76ers have won eight of 10 to start the season but the Hawks are finding it tough to build any rhythm due to their performances at home.
They’ve lost back-to-back on home court, six of their last 10 stretching back into last season and they’re just 1-7ATS in their last eight as a favourite.
