The Philadelphia 76ers dropped the opener of this second-round series against the Hawks, but they've bounced back with a pair of convincing triumphs, including a 127-111 win here at State Farm Arena on Friday.

The 76ers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite, and I doubt homecourt will be of much help for Atlanta in this one.

Philadelphia star Joel Embiid is listed as questionable, but that's been the case for pretty much every game and there's no way they sit him for this one. "I'm OK," Embiid said. "I'm standing up, I'm walking. I finished the game. I'm going to keep getting back up. I'm going to keep fighting. That's been me since I started playing basketball, so I'm going to keep fighting. That's been my motto. Whatever happens, get back up and keep it going."

The Hawks caught the Sixers off guard in Game 1, but that's not happening again. With Brooklyn and Milwaukee mired in what's guaranteed to be at least a six-game series, I expect the Sixers to want to close this one out ASAP to give themselves as big of a rest advantage as possible for the Eastern Conference Finals.

10* play on Philadelphia 76ers.
