NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Philadelphia,
Money Line: -115.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Atlanta Hawks
Rating: 8/10*

The Philadelphia 76ers have been ATS sweethearts lately, particularly home at Wells Fargo Center where they're 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games. I think the linemakers may have over-adjusted for this contest though, and this looks like a good spot to back Atlanta as a small road favorite.

Note that the Hawks are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia, and this looks like a letdown spot for Philly who's fresh off a 2-3 five-game road trip that concluded with a 106-101 win as a 4.5-point underdog at Brooklyn last night.

The Hawks meanwhile had lost seven on the bounce prior to a modest 95-91 win as a 10-point favorite against Phoenix last night, and they're still fighting to hold onto their playoff spot in the tight Eastern Conference. Most trends point towards Philadelphia here, but I'm going with what should be the more motivated team.
