Philadelphia just ended a mini 2-game slide with a win over the Utah Jazz — but it was far from a convincing performance by Tyrese Maxey and company, as they won just 4 points. Their backs are against the wall on Saturday as they take on the in-form Hawks. Atlanta has won all 3 meetings so far this season and is on an 8-game winning streak in the head-to-head. No Joel Embiid and most likely VJ Edgecombe means that the Sixers have only one reliable scoring option here in Tyrese Maxey. Philly has covered 3 times in 10 games, while against the Hawks it is just 1-4 ATS in the last 5.

The Hawks spoiled the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo in their last game as they took down the Milwaukee Bucks for their fifth win in a row. They are once again back over the .500 mark, and this is only the second time this season they’ve won this many games in a row. On the injury front there are no major concerns apart from Jonathan Kuminga being a game-time decision, but his injury is a minor one and he should be ready. During the winning streak, the offense has been clicking on all cylinders — Atlanta is scoring 122.3 points per 100 possessions. What should make Hawks fans even happier are their performances on the other end, with only the Knicks having a better defensive rating during this stretch.

It would take a major collapse on the Hawks part for them not to win this game. Jalen Johnson has been absolutely unstoppable in this matchup this season, averaging 28.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game. The Sixers won’t have an answer for him. If Atlanta can shut down Maxey on offense, this is a wrap. I’ll take the Hawks.

76ers vs Hawks prediction: Atlanta -6.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
