76ers vs. Hawks: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

In this story:
The Philadelphia 76ers return home on Monday night following a three-game road trip. After defeating the Brooklyn Nets last Tuesday, the Sixers quickly took a trip to Charlotte to face the Hornets for the second night of a back-to-back set of games.
While the Sixers put up a good fight in the first half of the Charlotte matchup, they ran out of steam down the stretch. Eventually, the Sixers dropped their matchup against the Hornets before going into their two-game series against the Orlando Magic on the road.
Philadelphia bounced back last Friday and snagged a shorthanded win against the undermanned Magic. Two nights later, the two teams met once more with similar circumstances, as both squads missed core players due to injury.
Being shorthanded didn’t bother the Sixers one bit, though. With another excellent effort, the 76ers came out on top with a blowout 30-point victory to sweep the Magic during the two-game stretch.
With little time to fall back and rest, the Sixers are back on the floor Monday night to face the Atlanta Hawks, who are coming off a loss against the Miami Heat, which occurred on Sunday night.
