After toppling a pair of playoff contenders, the Atlanta Hawks found out that the Philadelphia 76ers were a different animal. Trae Young had another outstanding game with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists but his all-around effort wasn’t enough to beat the Sixers, 129-112. Nevertheless, the Hawks got a solid game from their frontline duo of the future as John Collins and DeAndre Hunter recorded 21 and 22 points, respectively.

The Hawks took the W in their first two head-to-head games before the Magic came through with a 135-126 win in a high-scoring game two weeks ago. Legal betting sites aren’t quite sure how the fourth game will pan out since both teams are playing fine coming off the All-Star break.

Moneyline: Bet on the Magic to win SU. Yes, a Trae Young-led Hawks is always dangerous but I like how Orlando is playing as of late. While their defense is sagging as of late, their offense is picking up at the right time.

ATS: Pick the Magic to cover the spread. After a gritty two-point win against the Nets, the Magic are in for another tough contest with the Hawks. However, a 2.5 spread or something narrower to it should provide Orlando a window of opportunity to get an ATS win.

TOTALs: Bet on the OVER at 225.5 points. With the way the Magic is scoring the ball and the Hawks ever as dynamic with Young orchestrating on the offensive end, I am expecting another high-scoring affair at State Farm Arena.

Score Prediction: 117 – 112 Magic
