After two days off, the Atlanta Hawks hit the road on Wednesday evening for a very intriguing face-off with the Philadelphia 76ers. The visiting team’s 1-6 start has been dissected from virtually every angle but, with a (very) tough schedule coming up on paper, this is a spot in which Atlanta would be well served to bring energy and intensity toward pulling an upset win.
The Sixers enter this game as sizable, 9-point favorites in the Las Vegas world and much of that has to do with the strong early-season play of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
