Analysis and Reason for Predictions

Phila limited the Suns at 88 points on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers finally came up with a big performance on the home floor, beating Western Conference leaders Phoenix Suns 100-88 on Monday night.

They had three days to rest before making the trip to South East where they will face Atlanta Hawks in one of the most exciting outings of Thursday’s four-game slate.

Doc Rivers’ men are currently in the middle of both offensive and defensive ratings but the defensive showing they have put up against one of the most lethal offenses in the league on Monday was fantastic.

Joel Embiid finally produced the performance everyone expects him to offer night in night out. The Cameroonian center bagged 33 points and 10 rebounds, going 8-for-21 from the field but incredible 16-for-16 from the free-throw line.

Embiid also added five assists, while Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey contributed with six assists each on the occasion.

The Hawks are doing great this season but this is a back-to-back game for them

Atlanta Hawks had a big game on Monday as well, inflicting the maiden defeat of the season on Milwaukee Bucks on the occasion.

The fact they limited the best team in the league to just 98 points speaks for itself, while we also have to praise the Haws’ offensive output with 117 points against by far the best defense in the country.

The problem for Nate McMillan and his troops ahead of this tie may lie in the fact they had a tough clash against hot Utah Jazz side last night.

We thus can’t expect the same intensity in defense in particular, especially knowing that Atlanta will be up against Joel Embiid after his fantastic display against the Suns.

The Hawks will struggle against in-form Joel Embiid

Philadelphia 76ers earned a massive confidence-boost with the impressive defensive showing in the win over the Suns on Monday.

With a three-day rest and in-form and motivated Joel Embiid, we can hardly see them dropping the ball against Atlanta Hawks who had a tough clash against Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

We’ll take the 76ers to win moneyline at the -110 odds, while Joel Embiid is also worth backing to score Over 27.5 points at the same -110 odds.
