ATL -1.5 (+100)
The Hawks are 8-2 in their last 10 as they desperately push to stay out of the Play-In bubble. They've coalesced into an effective unit, especially since trading Trae Young to Washington. This is a coin-flip match in the odds, so I'll take the plus money on the home team to win by a bucket.

Joel Embiid o38.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-112)
Joel Embiid has missed more games than he’s played this season, but he’s appeared in four of the 76ers’ last six games. Embiid was on a roll before missing time, hitting the Over on this combo line in 10 of 12 games before hitting the sideline. He’s reached that mark in two of four since returning.
Embiid has faced Victor Wembanyama twice in his career. In his first career matchup with Wemby, Embiid put on a clinic and delivered 70 points, 18 rebounds and five assists, nearly doubling the Over on this line with points alone.
Wembanyama was torched by another big and physical center on Saturday as Nikola Jokic posted 40 points, eight rebounds and 13 assists. Embiid can find success against the French superstar by leveraging his weight advantage and making the game more physical.
PHI +8.5 (-110)
The Spurs should have the edge in this game and are deserving favorites, but the 76ers are hovering around the Play-In and are mostly healthy for the first time in ages. Expect Philly to play desperation ball and stay close enough to cover.
