Philadelphia 76ers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 3/9/25, 10:44 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 3/9/25 at 11:11 PM in NBA Picks

There is no doubt that recent games suggest that the Hawks have become stronger with their acquisitions in the trade dead line, as evidenced by the good game off the bench that Lavert had in the last 120-118 victory against the Pacers. The Hawks are a team that has dealt with injuries and players who come and go for that reason. Such has been the case of Young, who will not be playing against the 76ers on Monday due to a quadriceps injury, after playing 33 minutes and contributing 36 points against the Pacers.

Young's absence does not seem to have influenced Atlanta's favoritism for the next game against the 76ers, who will also be short-handed without Embiid and Maxey. In addition, the Sixers will be playing on back-to-back nights after a tight Sunday win against the last-place Utah Jazz by a final score of 126-122 at the Wells Fargo Center, in a good game by Lonnie Walker with 25 points with 11 rebounds and 5 assists.

This game between the Hawks and the 76ers will be the 3rd of the season with Atlanta winning the first two in two games that exceeded the total of 245 points. The Hawks are first in the play-in zone but far from the sixth place of the Pistons who have a record of 35-29. Meanwhile, for the Sixers, their slim hopes for the postseason depend on beating the Hawks tomorrow, although it seems unlikely.
