Atlanta enters play having dropped seven of its last 10 games and is just 4-6 against the spread during that span. In fact, even though they won last night against the Suns to end their losing skid, they failed to cover as a 10-point home favorite. The Hawks are just 33-41 at the betting window this season, but they're 19-17 ATS on the road this year.
Philadelphia has split over its last 10 games on the hardwood but went 8-2 against the spread during that same span. The Sixers are 47-27 against the number on the year, making them one of the best ATS teams in the league this season. They're also 25-11 against the spread at home this year.
OUR PREDICTION: The Hawks are still in the midst of a slump but they're 6-0 against the spread in their last six games against the 76ers and have covered in six of their last seven games in Philadelphia as well. If you're worried about backing Atlanta when the team is playing on back-to-back nights, don't be. The Hawks are 13-5 against the spread in their last 18 games playing on zero rest.
