Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
Philadelphia 76ers
Embiid continues to prove his worth as the MVP of the previous season. A line of 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists on average per game should impress any NBA fan. Unfortunately, his team has become too dependent on such. Without him, Philadelphia's game falls apart. Luckily, Joel shouldn't miss this match.
Atlanta Hawks
If you want to see a show, your choice is Atlanta. A frantic pace, a lot of creativity on the opponent's half, and a lack of defence guarantee an exciting match and a lot of emotions. However, if we're talking about results, expecting something serious with such gameplay is unlikely.
Philadelphia 76ers – Atlanta Hawks prediction
After a strong start (8 wins, 2 defeats), Philadelphia has stumbled a bit but still remains one of the strongest teams in the Eastern conference. Atlanta, on the other hand, is in a worse situation — with only 1 win in the last 5 matches. And this win was in the match against San Antonio, which isn’t a strong team, for sure.
The concept of defence for Atlanta does not exist in nature, so it's always important to pay attention to the opponent's ability to exploit this. The individual total for the 76ers in the last five meetings is 125,8. Therefore, grab some popcorn, take the Over 125,5, and enjoy the process.
