76ers vs. Hawks: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction
After a two-day break, the Philadelphia 76ers are back on the court Thursday night to continue their schedule. Earlier this week, the Sixers fired up the new week with a challenging matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
Coming off of two-straight losses, falling short against the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks, the Sixers looked to avoid losing three straight on Monday night.
Fortunately for Philly, they got their All-Star big man Joel Embiid back in the mix. While James Harden remained out of the starting lineup, the shorthanded Sixers still saw a notable boost from the presence of their big, who helped lead Philly to victory over the Suns.
With that win on Monday, the Sixers moved to 5-6 on the year. Now, they’ll look to keep the ball rolling two nights later as they are set to face the Atlanta Hawks for the first time this year.
This season, the Hawks are new and improved, as they bolstered their backcourt with the addition of former San Antonio Spurs standout Dejounte Murray. Thursday will offer the Sixers a first look at the new guard combo before both the Sixers and the Hawks head back to Philadelphia for a second matchup against each other on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
