Philadelphia 76ers vs. Atlanta Hawks: Preview

The tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on BSSE and NBCS-PH+ in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena.

The 76ers have played well following the trade that sent James Harden to the LA Clippers before the season and have a record of 23-12. Joel Embiid is having another MVP-caliber season, leading the league in points with 35 points. However, he's been ruled out for the game monitoring his left knee soreness. He missed the last game and the two practices before the game on Wednesday.

The Hawks look forward to capitalizing on this opportunity to protect the home court. Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris will play big minutes for the 76ers to cover for Embiid's production. Trae Young and Dejounte Murray are also expected to play well after a long road trip losing two straight.
