Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction: Will the Hawks finish the tournament with a win?

Atlanta will play their final game at the Summer League tournament. Will the Hawks finish the tournament with a win?

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks started in Las Vegas with a 76:80 loss to Sacramento, but then they earned two straight wins - over Denver (98:93) and Minnesota (99:93), scoring under a hundred points in both meetings.

The Hawks' 15th pick in the 2023 draft, Kobe Bufkin, is attracting special attention in Atlanta's lineup. So in the game against Denver, the defenceman scored 17 points and made six assists. In the game with Minnesota, Bufkin was not as effective - 13 points, but only 3 of 13 from the game. Atlanta's best player against Minnesota was another guard, the 51st pick of the 2022 draft, who scored 25 points.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Seventy Sixers are alternating wins and losses in the 2023 Summer League. The team from Philadelphia started to play at the tournament in Salt Lake City, where they lost to Memphis (92:94) and Oklahoma (91:100) but beat Utah (104:94). In Las Vegas, they continued to play very productive matches - they beat New York (110:101), but lost to Dallas (103:111).

The 76ers have no recruits from the first round of the last draft, and almost all the players are already experienced performers by the standards of the Summer League, either undrafted in recent years or already drafted by major NBA teams. For example, Jaden Springer, the 28th pick of the 2021 draft, was unprepared for Philadelphia's last game against Dallas and will surely help his team in the game against Atlanta.

Expert Betting Tips

Philadelphia, at summer tournaments, shows fast offensive basketball, even to the detriment of the quality of defense. Thus, the 76ers regularly scored over 90 points but also missed under a hundred. And if you take four games with Philadelphia out of the last five, at least one of the teams has scored over 100 points. Why the meeting with Atlanta should be different is unclear. Moreover, the Hawks themselves played two previous games very efficiently.
