The Atlanta Hawks will be out to get their first win against the Philadelphia 76ers when they host them next in the NBA. They come into this match while sitting 12th in the Eastern Conference standings, nine games behind third-placed Philadelphia. The Hawks are battling a lack of consistency and at present sit seven games below .500. Quin Snyder’s men, who have lost their last two matches, have won 14 of 35 fixtures. They were defeated 117-110 last time out by the Magic. Trey Young is listed as probable for this match. Clint Capela and Wes Matthews are ‘Questionable’ while De’Andre Hunter is out.

The Sixers will be without reigning MVP and leading points-getter Joel Embiid. This is a big blow for the team that has lost three of its last four matchups. Philly has lost six of the eight games that Embiid, who is averaging a league-leading 34.6 points, has missed. Nick Nurses’ men, who are on a two-game losing run, were defeated 120-109 at home by the Utah Jazz. Their 12th loss of the season kept them four and a half games behind top spot in the East. Robert Covington is also out while Tobias Harris, De’Anthony Melton, and Furkan Korkmaz are ‘Questionable’. Philadelphia has won both meetings with Atlanta this season.
