Philly head to Denver looking to even the ledger after falling to the Nuggets earlier in the season.
The 76ers were without four of their starting five on that occasion, with Embiid, Simmons, Harris and Curry missing out through a mixture of injury and Covid protocols.
This time around Doc Rivers will still be without big man Embiid, though his side has shown real defensive steal without their MVP candidate and still hold top seed in the East.
Philly come into this fixture of the back of a disappointing showing against the Clippers, though have shown they came bounce back immediately, covering the line 8-5 times following a loss.
Denver were big winners coming out of the trade deadline, snagging Aaron Gordon on the cheap, though I’m expecting the Dunking enthusiast to take a few games to adjust to his new surroundings.
Leg 1: Phoenix over Atlanta
Both sides head into this matchup with a 7-3 record across their last 10 outings, though all three of the Hawks defeats have come in the last four games.
The Suns are a healthy 15-7 at home this season and will be looking to keep the pressure on Utah at the top of the West.
Atlanta are 5-9 as the away underdog this season, and will have their work cut out for them once agains here.
Leg 2: Charlotte over Washington
Washington will be looking to backup a huge performance against the Pacers when they welcome the Hornets to town.
Charlotte come into this fixture with a rest advantage after going down to the Suns in OT two days ago, the Hornets have gone 4-2 with such advantage.
The Hornets are 8-4 as favourites this season, as well as Westbrook looked against the Pacers yesterday, it’s hard to imagine him putting in the same shift here.
