The Atlanta Hawks take on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday (November 28) in NBA Regular Season action.
The two sides are in contrasting form as they meet in this blockbuster clash. Both teams have gone 11-9 thus far as the Hawks are fifth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the 76ers are just below them in sixth. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The 76ers come into this game on the back of a two-game win streak, climbing up to sixth place in the East. The latest of the two wins came against the Orlando Magic, beating them convincingly 133-103. It was a very solid all-round performance as most of the cavalry chipped in with valuable contributions, but the impact of Shake Milton and Tobias Harris didn’t go unnoticed.
In the absence of their star cast of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and James Harden, Harris and Milton have been brilliant. Milton has been magnificent in the last five games, scoring nearly 24 a night in addition to almost seven assists. His combination with Harris’ output has given the 76ers a launchpad to go 4-2 in their last six.
The Hawks have recently had an indifferent run of form, losing three of their last five. Their last two games have both been defeats, against the Rockets and most recently the Bulls. The Hawks were beaten comprehensively by the Heat in their last game in 98-106 fashion. A Bam Adebayo masterclass stopped the Hawks from getting any sort of offensive momentum as they faltered in all parts of the court.
They shot only 28% from beyond the arc while getting dominated inside the paint as well. The Heat had 58 points in the paint as compared to the Hawks’ 34. In the absence of regular #5 Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu stepped in and was schooled by one of the league’s most skillful centers.

Hawks vs. 76ers Betting Prediction
The Philadelphia side have a huge bonus as superstar Joel Embiid is expected to return tonight. Even without him, the side has fared well, but with his presence on the court, the 76ers’ chances of winning have increased exponentially. The Hawks have been susceptible to strong paint offenses and could face the same trouble against the Embiid-led Philly side as well.
