Hawks and Sixers Rekindle Playoff Rivalry

Trae Young Guards Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks

Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images/AFP

We are on to the set of one of the grisliest playoff choke jobs as the Philadelphia 76ers meet he Atlanta Hawks. Despite having lost their last two playoff games in epic fashion against them, the Sixers (3-2) enter Saturday evening as the online sports betting favorites.

The 76ers’ star guard, Ben Simmons (suspension), will be absent and Joel Embiid (knee) is hobbled. Atlanta (3-2) is looking at this as a prime opportunity to continue their mastery over the embattled team and they could just do it as underdogs.

Team Point Spread Moneyline Total Team Total
Atlanta +3 -110 +135 216½ -110o 107 -115o/-115u
Philadelphia -3 -110 -155 216½ -110u 110 -115o/-115u

Team Previews

Hawks: Mayors of Philadelphia

At some point in last season’s playoffs, Hawks star Trae Young was briefly voted as Philadelphia’s mayor per their Wikipedia page (as a prank). Young torched the Sixers in their own house, averaging 29 points and 9.5 assists. But he wasn’t the only one giving Philadelphia a headache.

Fellow guard Kevin Huerter dropped 27 points while shooting 10-of-18 in Game 7. Big men John Collins and Clint Capela averaged double-doubles in the series. And forward Danilo Gallinari averaged 14.7 points. The Hawks did not even have a full roster, which they do now.

Atlanta has one of the deepest rosters in the NBA and has been a top-three under coach Nate McMillan. Despite having a 2-3 spread record this season, Atlanta had a 53.3% cover rate as a road underdog last season. As far as road dogs go, the Hawks are worth a bet online.

76ers: No Defending it

Philadelphia will be without Simmons and will have a hurt Embiid going against a healthier Hawks and it is expected to win. This must be the post-Simmons effect as most fans pinned it all on him for the loss although coach Doc Rivers and forward Tobias Harris were just as culpable.

But despite their meltdowns in the playoffs, Philadelphia still has a positive cover rating at home: winning 56.8% of spreads (25-19-1). This only declines a little bit if they’re favorites: 53.8%, still a profitable home team per the NBA odds.

The Sixers were one of the NBA’s top defenses last season but they’ve transitioned into being more offensively oriented. Embiid’s injury and the loss of Simmons and center Dwight Howard are bringing this negative impact as the three were four of Philly’s top defenders.

Betting Pick

Bet Atlanta or pass in this spot. The Hawks have a deeper roster and match up better with Philadelphia now that the Sixers are visibly smaller. Atlanta is only 3-2 but is better than their record indicates, ranking in the top ten in both offense and defense with a +6.1 net rating.

Atlanta has five players averaging double-digits in scoring with Huerter and Gallinari struggling right now. Young, despite the significant NBA rule change, has not slowed down even with fewer free throw attempts. He should be able to orchestrate the offense and lead Atlanta to an upset.

Pick: Atlanta Hawks +135

Bonus Pick

We’re going against the trend with our NBA free pick here. While we backed Atlanta to keep beating Philadelphia at home, the total will be a higher scoring one. The total has gone under if seven of this pair’s last ten games all in 2021. But with Philadelphia’s limited defense and plenty of firepower on both sides, this one could hit well over 220.

Pick: Total – Over 216½ (-110)

BET TOTAL OVER 216½ (-110)

As a long-time Toronto Raptors and Buffalo Bills fan, Go Paolo knows that every dog gets its day. Paolo fancies himself as an underdog in the sports betting world as he does not come from a traditional sports background. He did not become a hardcore sports fan until his freshman days in college studying Mass Media and Communications. While he played basketball and trained in martial arts, Paolo sees himself more as a nerd who cut his teeth in sports analysis by dropping truth bombs and stone-cold facts against crazed fans from online message boards. It was here he caught the attention of several sports journalists and website owners who gave him his start as a sportswriter. He has since published with the likes of Sportsnet and FanSided and has been writing about sports betting for over five years. Paolo is thrilled to continue covering sports and cannot wait to unearth more underdogs and unconventional winners.
