Hawks vs 76ers Prediction, Odds & Game Preview 3/23/2025

The Atlanta Hawks, riding high on their recent six wins in eight games and fresh off a convincing victory over the Warriors, welcome a Philadelphia 76ers squad that's been hit hard by injuries to their star players including Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey.

While Trae Young's Hawks have found their rhythm, putting up impressive numbers with Young dropping 25 points and 10 assists in their last outing, the 76ers have struggled mightily, losing nine of their last 11 games and relying heavily on role players like Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes to carry the offensive load.

The State Farm Arena crowd will watch their Hawks, who've won their last eight home games against sub-.500 Sixers teams, take on a Philadelphia squad desperate to snap their three-game losing streak in what promises to be a high-scoring affair.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Philadelphia 76ers preview

The struggling 76ers limp into State Farm Arena without their star-studded lineup of Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, facing a Hawks team that's found its groove lately.

Philly's recent woes were on full display in their loss to the Spurs, where despite a promising third-quarter surge, they collapsed in the final minutes - a story that's become all too familiar for them lately.

The Hawks, riding high on a six-game hot streak at home, have been getting it done with Trae Young cooking up his usual magic, dropping 25 points and 10 dimes in their recent win over the Warriors.

Young's partnership with Georges Niang, who's been a revelation off the bench with 23 points in their last outing, gives Atlanta a serious offensive punch that Philly's depleted roster might struggle to contain.

The Sixers' youngsters Justin Edwards and Quentin Grimes have stepped up admirably, both hitting 25-point marks last game, but they're swimming upstream against a Hawks team that's clicking on all cylinders.

These teams' last dance ended with Atlanta taking a 132-123 win just two weeks ago, and with the Hawks' offense humming at State Farm Arena, where they've been particularly tough against struggling teams, this matchup has all the makings of another high-scoring affair.

Keep an eye on Onyeka Okongwu, who's been a force in the paint with his recent double-double performance, as he'll likely have free rein against Philly's thin frontcourt.

With both teams consistently pushing the pace and neither showing much interest in defense lately, expect this Sunday night showdown to be a shootout that'll test the scoreboard operator's fingers.
