LiontipsPhiladelphia vs Atlanta. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA (29 April 2021).
Command Analysis
The 76ers due to recent setbacks have yielded the leadership in the Eastern Conference to Brooklyn. There is no way that the team will give up, they will strive to regain the first position in their Conference, so we are expecting a great performance from them.
Philadelphia lost four games in a row, which greatly influenced the overall picture, but in the last game, the club had already broken the spell. The victory of the 76ers was well overdue, and Oklahoma got in their way (121-90). Joel Embiid was one of the best in the hosts' squad, he produced great numbers of points, assists, and rebounds, and currently is a key player in the roster.
It will not be easy for Doc Rivers' charges to move the Nets aside, but they have already proved that they can maintain a high level for a long time, so we expect the Sixers to deliver a top performance.
The Hawks are trying to get closer to the three leading teams in the Eastern Conference, but so far they have not quite reached the level of the Top 3. The team has grown in terms of attack and has become a dangerous rival, which is good news for everyone who enjoys tough competition.
Atlanta didn't do so well in their last game when they lost to underdog Detroit (86-100). On the one hand, Nate McMillan's charges are not to be blamed, since their lineup was far from optimal, but the players approached the challenge with a wrong attitude.
The Hawks are well aware that if they do not somehow improve their situation, then New York or Boston will simply destroy them, but it is not like the upcoming game against Philadelphia is going to be a pleasure cruise.

Tip and bets
Philadelphia need to turn up the speed after four consecutive defeats. There is no doubt that Doc Rivers will not just accept the loss of leadership. Atlanta don't have an optimal lineup now, so it will be difficult for them not only to win but also to keep up with the opponents. We assume that the hosts will just overwhelm the opponent with pressure and declare the second victory in a row.
Our prediction is Philadelphia to win with a handicap (-5.5) points.
It was difficult for the Hawks to attack without their leader Trey Young, but he will be back soon, and probably will help the Hawks in the next game. But Philadelphia's players are more motivated than ever, so they definitely will be ready to score points. In such circumstances, we suggest betting on the total over.
Second bet -total over 214.5 points.
