Philadelphia at Atlanta

The Philadelphia 76ers started the season at 0-17 and pretty much eliminated from having even a .500 season. This is a young team, and they make critical mistakes that take them out of games. They have, however, won two straight games, and have to be feeling pretty good as they head to Atlanta. The Hawks have been invincible as they are on an 18-game winning streak, but they have not won 18 games by 17 points or more, which is what they will tackle in this one. The fact is that just one of their last seven wins have come by more than 17 points, and they needed to comeback last night against Portland to win, spent a lot of energy, and could easily be on cruise control with the perception of such an easy game. The Hawks, despite their winning ways, are in a dangerous 67-121 ATS spot tonight. Take the points on Philadelphia.
