The Hawks faced a Knicks team in Round 1 that was incapable of making adjustments based on its roster talent. Expect the 76ers and coach Doc Rivers to build on Game 2 and hand the Hawks their first home postseason loss. Play Philadelphia.

The Sixers weren’t a great team on the road during the regular season, going just 20-16. Meanwhile, the Hawks were 25-11 at home. The loss of De’Andre Hunter (knee) for the rest of playoffs is a significant blow, one from which the Hawks might not eventually be able to recover. However, with this series shifting to Atlanta, I like their chances of coming away with a win in Game 3.

The Hawks are on an NBA-best 13-game home winning streak -- have covered 20 of their past 26 there and 21-2 SU at home since Feb. 21 (a league-best .913 win percentage) -- and won both games in Round 1 at State Farm Arena by double digits over the Knicks. Granted, the Sixers are much better than the Knicks, but I don't see Philly getting a combined 35 points from Seth Curry and Shake Milton again as it did in Game 2. At this point, Danny Green and Ben Simmons are almost offensive liabilities (Simmons when he's not near the rim anyways). Then you have the Joel Embiid could leave at anytime injured factor. The Sixers are 0-6 ATS in their past six trips to Atlanta.
