NBA Betting 76ers vs. Hawks, Wednesday in Game 5 on TNT (June 16, 2021)

A clear difference has existed between the Hawks and nearly all other teams. Atlanta is the closest thing to an anonymous major league franchise possible. At least until this year. Atlanta’s opening round upset of the Knicks transformed their image with fans and gamblers. And then their game one win at Philadelphia made eyes pop. Last year Luka Doncic emerged as a new NBA superstar. This year Atlanta’s Trae Young is the latest marquee man for NBA Bets. Young is transforming a nothing franchise into an attention-grabber. But a game five win at Philadelphia is a huge ask.
