Prediction published on 3/23/25, 12:51 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 3/23/25 at 12:53 PM in NBA Picks

The Atlanta Hawks will try to tighten their grip on the No.7 spot in the East Standings as they shoot for their third straight win against the Philadelphia 76ers at State Farm Arena on Sunday.

The Hawks have bolstered their playoff chances with back-to-back wins over the Charlotte Hornets 134-102 and the Golden State Warriors 124-115. Trae Young and company took advantage of the absence of Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, who sat out Saturday’s game due to a pelvic contusion he suffered in their previous game. Young tallied 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Onyeka Okongwu and Georges Niang contributed 22 and 23 points, respectively.

The 76ers have dropped three in a row and lost six of their last 10 games. With only a few weeks left in the NBA regular season, Sixers fans have already accepted the reality that the first year of the Big 3 experiment (Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and free-agency acquisition Paul George) has failed tremendously with injuries being seen as the leading cause of their shortcomings this year. The Sixers enter Sunday’s game vs. the Hawks on a three-match slump, absorbing their last defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs 120-128, which sent their record to 23-47.
