After big wins over the Bucks and Heat, the Hawks were flat against the Pistons last time out in their 100-86 loss. Their offence is without Trae Young at the moment so it’s a tough ask for the undermanned Hawks at the moment. Especially in a tough defensive matchup against the 76ers.<\/span><\/p>\n Coming off 4 straight losses, the 76ers got back on track against the injury-riddled Thunder last time out in a crushing 121-90 result. Overall, the 76ers have been tough to beat at home this season with a 23-7 record and their injury list is looking healthy at the moment. So they’ll be expected to cruise past the Hawks.<\/span><\/p>\n With the Hawks missing key players, they’ll likely struggle to score over 100 pts against the 76ers. So we do like the look of the Under, which is also 9-3 in the 76ers last 12 games. Under is also 6-3 in the Hawks last 9.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The 76ers are 3-2 in their last 5 home games. The Hawks have won 8 of 12 in Philadelphia.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Hawks won the first meeting of the season 112-94. Since 2018, the head to head is locked at 5-5.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Under 220 pts $1.91<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Lakers head to Washington on the back of a fairly comfortable win over the Magic 114-103. However, they’re still missing LeBron James and Anthony Davis has just returned from injury. He looked solid against the Magic but is listed as questionable for this matchup. Dennis Schroder has also been playing through injury but gets a good matchup against the leaky Wizards defence here.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Wizards 8 game winning streak came to end in a thrilling & high scoring affair with the Spurs (146-143). Westbrook recorded another triple-double with 22 pts, 13 rebounds and 14 assists. However, the main problem with the Wizards is their defence so they’ll look to improve against the Lakers.<\/span><\/p>\n With the Wizards involved, the Over is usually a good bet and we like it here as well. The two teams put up 251 points in the late February matchup. The Over is also 6-2 in the Lakers last 8 road games.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Washington has won 5 of their last 6 at home. The Lakers hold a poor 1-5 record at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The two teams met in LA this season and the Wizards pulled off a 127-124 upset. Since 2015, the Wizards have also won 6 of 10 meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\nLos Angeles Lakers (36-25) at Washington Wizards (27-34)<\/b><\/h3>\n
