The Sixers will have their first back-to-back of the season today and tomorrow, starting with a rematch of the Atlanta Hawks tonight. The Hawks beat us Thursday night despite 26 and 13 from Joel Embiid. I don’t expect that to happen for a second straight time. The bettors don’t expect it, either, having the Sixers as a 3.5 point favorite tonight. I think Philly covers even without James Harden to help us match Trae Young’s production. I’m 0-3 on my Sixers bets so far, but I’m still gonna lock it in:
