Recent Form
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia has gone 3-2 over its last five, but the game-to-game volatility has been extreme: a 40-point loss to San Antonio (91-131) sandwiched between three wins. Over those last five games, the 76ers are scoring 110.8 points per game and allowing 115.6.
The broader 10-game profile is less forgiving: 4-6 straight up with a 108.9 offensive rating and a 117.6 defensive rating in that span. With Embiid out and George unavailable, the margin for error tends to show up first in half-court shot quality.
Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta comes in on a five-game winning streak, and it has been driven by defense as much as offense. Over the last five, the Hawks are scoring 125.2 points per game while allowing just 102.4, holding every opponent in that stretch to 113 points or fewer.
In their last 10 games, Atlanta is 6-4 with a 115.2 offensive rating and a 109.6 defensive rating. They have played faster than most of the league all year, and when that pace is paired with stops, they can build separation quickly.
Matchup Keys
- Atlanta’s pace vs. Philadelphia’s stability: Hawks pace is 102.9 (top-tier), while the 76ers sit at 100.0. More possessions magnify depth and availability, which favors Atlanta given Philadelphia’s absences.
- Shot-making efficiency gap: Philadelphia’s season eFG% is 52.8% (bottom-five), while Atlanta is at 55.0% (above average). If the 76ers are not getting to the line, their scoring floor drops.
- Hawks ball movement vs. 76ers creation: Atlanta is generating 30.5 assists per game, while Philadelphia is at 24.6. If the game becomes a pass-and-react contest, that usually favors the team with more playmaking in the lineup.
- What the Hawks allow: Atlanta is allowing opponents to shoot 47.2% from the field and 35.6% from three. Philadelphia’s season FG% (45.8) is already low, so efficiency needs to come from free throws and second chances.
- Series results this season: Atlanta leads the season series 3-0 and won the most recent meeting 117-107 on February 19.

Best Bet
Under 233.5 (-110).
Atlanta’s recent defense is the clearest signal in this matchup: 102.4 points allowed per game over the last five, with every opponent held to 113 or fewer. Philadelphia’s last-10 offensive rating (108.9) is trending in the wrong direction, and the 76ers are missing high-usage shot creation with Embiid out and George unavailable. If Atlanta controls the game with pace but also continues to get stops, Philadelphia’s path to pushing this into the mid-230s requires unusually efficient shooting.
Predicted Score
Atlanta 119, Philadelphia 110
