Why the 76ers can cover
Philadelphia is going to miss the playoffs for the first time in eight years, with injuries playing a key role in their campaign. The 76ers are coming off a rare late-season victory though, beating Washington in a 122-103 final on Wednesday. They were without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, but Jeff Dowtin Jr. scored a career-high 30 points.
Lonnie Walker IV scored 24 points, while Quentin Grimes had 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. The 76ers will be without a host of players again on Friday, but Grimes (shoulder) is a game-time decision. They have won four of their last six home games against Atlanta, and they are 14-5 against the spread in their last 19 April games. See which team to pick here.
Why the Hawks can cover
Atlanta has much more to play for than Philadelphia in this matchup, as the Hawks are trying to secure the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament. They have won two of their last three games, cruising to double-digit wins over the Jazz and Nets. Center Onyeka Okongwu had 27 points and 12 rebounds in the win over Utah, while star guard Trae Young had 15 assists.
Rookie forward Zaccharie Risacher had a career-high 38 points against Brooklyn on Thursday, shooting 15 of 20 from the floor. He has been rounding into form of late, scoring 36 points against the Bucks on March 30. Atlanta has won four of the last five meetings between these teams, and Philadelphia has only covered the spread three times in its last 12 games. See which team to pick here.
