Atlanta has already accomplished what it wanted by stealing Game 1. The Hawks are on a 2-6 spread run away from home, as well as 7-17-1 ATS in Conference Semifinals games. The NBA Playoffs are about adjustments, and Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers will make some to try and slow down guard Trae Young, the Hawks' best weapon. After scoring 128 points, Atlanta will continue to run, and they're 7-3 OVER the total against winning teams. This is the third straight home game for the 76ers, and they are 18-8 ATS at home versus winning teams. Philadelphia is a dominant home team (32-8 SU, 24-15-1 ATS) and can also run with Ben Simmons and a slew of young legs. They're 24-12 OVER the total at home against teams that allow 106+ points per game, and NBA favorites like the 76ers are 57-27 ATS when revenging a loss where the opponent scored 100+ points when that opponent comes off two straight victories as a road underdog. With the OVER now 7-3 when these teams clash, back home court in a high scoring affair. Play Philadelphia for a Max Play and OVER the total for another Max Play.
