T.M. Selection: 76ers/Hawks UNDER.

I am on the under in the Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks game on Friday. The 76ers have not looked good in their games lately. A few of their key pieces were dealing with illness and injuries but they have all returned to the team now. They have not looked like they have good chemistry in those games though and it was even mentioned by the team that they just need to get used to playing with everyone again now that everyone is back. They have looked a bit shaky in their games because of that and it has caused some lower scoring games as of late. Their previous 2 games in a row both stayed under 200 points and 1 of the teams in their games have not scored 100+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games. The Hawks have been dealing with some injuries of their own and they will be without a few of their starters and some bench depth also such as Bogdanovic, Hunter, and Reddish. I think that the absence of these players from their lineup is going to weaken their offensive power a bit and I think that the Hawks will have to play more defense in this game to make up for those absences. The Hawks have looked really good lately and they play very well on their home court. I think it will be easier for them to play a good defensive game here at home and I think the 76ers are going to struggle to score anyway as they are still getting used to everyone being bak in their lineup. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Hawks.
