All it took for the Philadelphia 76ers (5-6, 3-2 away) to snap their two-game losing streak was the return of Joel Embiid. The Process sat out last Wednesday and Friday’s losses, but returned with a bang on Monday to lead Philly to an upset win over Phoenix.
Oddsmakers are not banking on another Sixers victory when they clash with Atlanta (7-4, 4-2 home) on Thursday, as they pegged the Hawks as the home chalk in the NBA odds.

Philadelphia 76ers Betting Analysis
Embiid poured in 33 points in his return, and grabbed 10 rebounds. He missed the previous three games with the flu, and was struggling to regain his stamina during practice. You’d never know it given his performance on Monday, as he also added five assists and was a perfect 16-of-16 from the free throw line.

The 76ers played their second straight game without James Harden, who’s out for a month, and with one of their offensive stars down Georges Niang stepped up. Niang buried seven triples on his way to 21 points, while Tobias Harris also chipped in 21.
Embiid’s presence had a big impact at the defensive end as well, as Philly turned in one of its better defensive performances. They held the Suns to their lowest point total of the season, while forcing 15 turnovers and limiting them to just six offensive boards.
De’Anthony Melton earned high praise for his defensive work against Devin Booker, finishing plus-12 while on the floor as Booker’s primary defender. He’ll be expected to handle one of Trae Young or Dejounte Murray on Thursday, who’ve both been phenomenal this season.
The 76ers enter play with the league’s fifth best scoring defense, while also ranking top-10 in steals. Offensively, they rank 11th in offensive rating, and fourth in three-point efficiency.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Analysis
The Hawks meanwhile, are fresh off having their three-game winning streak snapped. They fell 125-119 to Utah on Wednesday, as Murray led the way with 26 points in a losing effort.
Atlanta became the first team to knock off Milwaukee in their previous game, but struggled defensively versus the Jazz. They allowed a 47% field goal percentage and a 44% mark from beyond the arc.
Those numbers appear to be outliers though, as the the Hawks have been strong in their own end all season. They rank third in opponent effective shooting percentage, and were number one at defending triples prior to their contest with Utah.

Offensively, the Murray and Young tandem has been exceptional. The duo came into action on Wednesday each averaging over 25 points and eight assists over their past five games, with Young gaining steam in the NBA MVP odds.
The Hawks rank sixth in scoring, and top-eight in both fast break points and points in the paint. Only four teams shoot a higher percentage from the charity stripe, while no squad has a better assist-to-turnover ratio.
On the injury front, shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has yet to play all season as he recovers from a knee injury and will sit out Thursday as well.
76ers vs Hawks Prediction
There’s some value here on the Hawks as short home favorites. They may be on a back-to-back, but the combo of Young and Murray are an absolute nightmare for any team to defend. Atlanta also has plenty of size up front with John Collins and Clint Capela, and they should be able to at least make life difficult for Embiid in the paint.
Without Harden, Tyrese Maxey is running the Sixers offense from the point and even his own coach admits the third year guard lacks vision. Harden was averaging a league-best 10 assists per game, six more than Maxey, while Maxey’s 1.8 assist-to-turnover ratio is by far the worst mark of his young career.
Pick: Atlanta Hawks -1 (-110)
