Epic collapses by the Philadelphia 76ers in Games 4 and 5 have put them in a must-win situation Friday. Expect the veteran-laden 76ers to remain aggressive for four quarters, and Doc Rivers to limit the bench’s minutes from late third to the early fourth quarter. Grab Philadelphia to respond as the road favorite.

I'm still in shock over that Game 5 epic Sixers choke job even though I was on Atlanta +7. If Philly loses this game, don't be surprised if it's the last for Ben Simmons (see news feed) in a Philly uniform. He is a true offensive liability right now. That said, the Sixers have led each of the past three games by at least 18 points yet are 1-2 in them. Tobias Harris will not score just four points again as he did in Game 5. Hey, even Simmons will get at least 10 (his O/U is 13.5). Lou Williams won't go nuclear again for Atlanta. Bring on Game 7!

After blowing a 25-point lead in Game 5, the Sixers will now aim to keep their season alive on the road, where they went just 20-16 this season. Joel Embiid is battling a knee injury and Ben Simmons can’t hit free throws, which makes things difficult for them late in games. With the Atlanta crowd getting ready to give the Hawks a huge advantage, let's take the points.
