76ers vs. Hawks: Game Odds, Betting Notes & Prediction

Coming off of a blowout loss against the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers are back on the floor Friday night to take on the Atlanta Hawks.

As expected, the Sixers will have a much different-looking roster for the night. With the Sixers locking up the third seed in the Eastern Conference, they don’t have much to play for in these final two games.

The Sixers will miss a handful of key players on Friday night. Realistically, they could play without their entire starting five. Joel Embiid, James Harden, PJ Tucker, and Tyrese Maxey are all ruled out for the night. Tobias Harris is entering the matchup listed as questionable.

Along with the starters, the Sixers could be without De’Anthony Melton and Jaden Springer, as their statuses are currently unknown as well.

As for the Atlanta Haws, they’re relatively healthy. As they look to maintain their spot as the eighth seed, Friday’s game means much more to the Hawks than it does to the Sixers.
