The seventh meeting of these teams will take place on June 21 at 03:00 Moscow time. Our portal has prepared a forecast for this meeting for you.
Philadelphia Sixers»
The Sixers had a good season, finishing first in the East. The new coach of the "Philadelphia", Rivers, has something to prove, because he is easily motivated by himself and transmits energy to his young players. The Sixers have everything they need to surpass last year's record and reach at least the conference finals. In the first round, the team passed Washington without any problems, losing only once on the road. However, the team can not cope with the brisk "Atlanta" in any way, bringing the series to the seventh meeting.
Atlanta Hawks»
Atlanta has a great blend of youth and experience in the team, which solved the problems with building the game this season. After a good start, Atlanta sank in the middle of the season and could not get into the playoff zone, but a bright finish allowed the team to be in the coveted six without any problems. Now the Hawks ' game is bright and fast, built on sharp counterattacks, which opponents are often not ready for. "Atlanta" managed to win the series against "New York", giving the opponent only one game, after which they unexpectedly swatted "Philadelphia" three more times, showing bright and aggressive basketball.

Forecast
The clear favorite in this match is Philadelphia, which has a more powerful and well-played squad, and is now in good shape, having won the last match. Atlanta also has a good run, but is inferior in skill and physical readiness. I think they can win on their own court, "Sixers".
