Atlanta Hawks Preview
The Atlanta Hawks are already well out of playoff contention but have shown some improvement as they attempt to build momentum for the 2020-21 season. The Hawks returned from the All-Star break with a huge 129-124 win over the Miami Heat, and they also picked up a notable 111-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. However, defense remains a problem as only the Washington Wizards are allowing more points per game, and the Hawks also possess the worst road record in the Eastern Conference.
Key Player - Trae Young
While Trae Young's work on the defensive end continues to earn criticism, the sophomore guard has quickly established himself as one of the greatest offensive forces in the league. Young holds season averages of 30 points and 9.2 assists, and the 21-year-old finished with 39 points and 18 assists in his last outing against the Sixers.
Hawks Predicted Lineup:
John Collins, De'Andre Hunter, Dewayne Dedmon, Kevin Huerter, Trae Young
Philadelphia 76ers Preview
Following a run of four consecutive wins, the Philadelphia 76ers came unstuck on Saturday evening as they suffered a 119-98 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks. Ben Simmons left the game in the first quarter due to a back injury, and the 23-year-old is now a serious doubt to feature against the Hawks.
Philadelphia's offense ranks 22nd for points scored per game (108.5), although only the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics are holding opponents to fewer points (106.4), and the Sixers have lost just twice at home so far this season
Key Player - Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid declared himself as the NBA's best player following a 39 point performance against the Brooklyn Nets - and while that is debatable - the Cameroonian is enjoying another excellent year. The 25-year-old is averaging 23.1 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per contest - and he should once again have a huge impact against the Hawks.
Sixers Predicted Lineup:
Tobias Harris, Furkan Korkmaz, Joel Embiid, Raul Neto, Josh Richardson
Hawks vs Sixers Match Prediction
The Hawks picked up a 127-117 win over the Sixers less than a month ago, although Philadelphia is a different proposition at Wells Fargo Center - and Brett Brown's side should have enough quality to come away with another home win.
