I like the 76ers in this spot despite them getting blown out at home by the Heat and now going on the road to face the Hawks. I think they'll be motivated to bounce back and continue their 17-7-1 ATS run over the last 25 games. They are 5-2 ATS on 0 days rest over their last 7 and I think this is a good spot as they are well rested after their home stand. The Hawks meanwhile are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 7 on 1 days rest and also just got blown out by the Grizzlies. To me this game will be back and forth and in the end the 76ers are the better team with the better offense and defense statistically.
Pacific has now started to play better winning 3 of their last 4 and have gone 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games and 5 of those covers was them as under dogs. They are under dogs against vs. UCI a team they already lost at home to and will be looking for revenge. In the first match up UCI shot 50% from three and still managed to win by just 3 points. Pacific's defense has really come on lately at the same time UCI has had some struggles shooting just 39.5% in their last 5 games. Pacific has held opponents to 36.3% from field over their last 5 games. Overall they also are the better fT% shooting team which is a must for me when backing any team. I refuse to lose games because a team can't hit hte freebies!
