Hawks vs 76ers prediction
Hawks vs 76ers best bet: Onyeka Okongwu Over 1.5 threes (-165)
Onyeka Okongwu’s ability to stretch the floor should be front and center tonight against a lackluster Philadelphia 76ers perimeter defense.
Across its last 10 games, Philadelphia has surrendered the fourth-highest 3-point percentage to opponents at 38.7%. With Joel Embiid out, Okongwu will get favorable matchups against Andre Drummond and Adem Bona.
