NBA (535) PHILADELPHIA 76ERS VS (536) ATLANTA HAWKS
Take: (536) ATLANTA HAWKS
The Philadelphia 76ers (21-41) are set to face the Atlanta Hawks (30-34) on Monday, March 10, 2025, at State Farm Arena. This marks the first meeting between these Eastern Conference rivals this season. The 76ers have been struggling, holding a 1-9 record over their last ten games. They recently secured a narrow 126-122 victory against the Utah Jazz, snapping a three-game losing streak. Philadelphia's offense ranks 26th in the league, averaging 109.0 points per game on 45.4% shooting. Defensively, they allow 114.0 points per game, ranking 16th in the NBA. The Hawks have experienced mixed results recently, going 4-6 in their last ten games. They are coming off a tight 120-118 win over the Indiana Pacers. Atlanta's offense is potent, ranking 5th in the NBA with an average of 117.1 points per game on 46.6% shooting. Defensively, they have room for improvement, allowing 119.7 points per game, which ranks 27th in the league. The Hawks play at a high tempo, ranking second in the league in pace, which could challenge the 76ers' defense. Philadelphia's injury woes, particularly the absence of Joel Embiid, significantly impact their interior defense and rebounding. With the Sixers thin on the bench and their recent losing trend, I'll take the Hawks here om Monday.

NBA (533) LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS (534) BROOKLYN NETS
Take: (533) LOS ANGELES LAKERS
The Los Angeles Lakers (40-22) are set to face the Brooklyn Nets (21-42) on Monday, March 10, 2025, at Barclays Center. The Lakers are coming off a 111-101 loss to the Boston Celtics, while the Nets aim to snap a seven-game losing streak following a 105-102 defeat to the Charlotte Hornets. The Lakers have been in strong form, winning eight of their last ten games. They average 112.9 points per game, allowing 111.1 points to opponents. A significant setback for the team is the recent injury to LeBron James, who is expected to be sidelined for one to two weeks due to a groin strain sustained in the loss to Boston. In his absence, Luka Doncic, acquired from the Dallas Mavericks last month, will shoulder more offensive responsibilities. Doncic has been averaging 24.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.6 assists in 11 games since joining the Lakers. The Nets have struggled recently, losing eight of their last ten games and currently enduring a seven-game losing streak. Their offense averages 105.1 points per game, while their defense allows 111.6 points per contest. D'Angelo Russell has been a bright spot, leading the team with 28 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in the recent loss to Charlotte. The team has also been integrating young talent like Noah Clowney into more prominent roles following roster changes earlier in the season. Despite LeBron James's absence, the Lakers' recent form and the Nets' ongoing struggles I look for a Lakers win and cover here on Monday. Play the Lakers.
