AMEDEUS' NBA SLAM DUNK!
(NBA) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta,
Point Spread: 1.00 | -110.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
The 76ers are coming into this game with an 8-3 record this season and they have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 2 straight games. They have been dealing with 2 key injuries in these games and even lost their last 2 games at home. They are going up against a Hawks team that is 6-5 this season and have not been great in their last few games either. They are coming off of a 2 point loss at home against the Knicks in their last game and they have lost 2 of their last 3 games as well, losing both games at home. The Hawks have lost their last 2 games at home but they are usually a much stronger home team with the way they have played there over the last few seasons. They also won their last 2 games at home by 9 points or more prior to losing their last 2 there. They will be hungry to bounce back here at home after losing to the Knicks there the other night and they are going to get up for the 76ers since they have come out like one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference to start the season. The Hawks are also only 1-0 in this group stage for the In-Season Tournament while the 76ers are 1-1 so the Hawks will be pushing to win this game at home and move to 2-0 in the group while also staying ahead of the 76ers. The Hawks will cover the spread in this game.
