Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers key stats
The Hawks have been superb thus far, going 8-4 after 12 games. They are on a great run of form, winning four of their last five encounters. Their latest victory came against tonight’s opponents, in the first of their double-header games.
The Hawks came out on top with a comfortable 104-95 win. It was a pretty poor showing from beyond the arc by both teams, as the Hawks shot 23% from deep, while Philly made 20%. It was a tale of the superstars on each team that carried the contest forward.

For the Hawks, it was once again Trae Young who led the team in scoring with 26 points on the night. He has had a very shoddy shooting season thus far, going below 40% from the field and from three. Going into his fifth season in the league, these are his worst shooting splits.
The inefficiency aside, he is still the top contributor for the Hawks this season, averaging 27.5 points a game and nine assists. He is only committing 3.5 turnovers a game, the lowest in his career so far, which has been another massive positive with his game this season.
For Young to average as many points as he has without shooting the ball remotely as well as he can, suggests there is so much more to his play already. If he can regain his shooting rhythm, the Hawks could be serious contenders for the top seed from the East.
The 76ers have had a very indolent start to the season, going 5-7 after 12 games. With the injury to James Harden, the burden of scoring has once again been shifted to Joel Embiid, who won the scoring title last season.
This season as well, the Cameroonian has started the season brilliantly. Having played only eight games thus far, Embiid is averaging a double-double with 28 points and 10 assists per game. He has scored 25 or more in all but one game this season and has started the month of November in blistering form.
Over the last two games, Embiid is averaging nearly 30 a night with 12 rebounds. He led the scoring for Philly against the Hawks with 26 last night.
Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers best pick:
Last season’s scoring champion Joel Embiid has started terrorizing NBA defenses once again. After a slow start to the season according to his lofty standards, Embiid has been lighting up the stat sheets in recent weeks.
He is coming into this game on the back of a 26-point performance against the Hawks themselves and should be expected to carry out similar brilliance tonight as well.
Joel Embiid- Points: Over 27.5 (-113)
Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Prediction:
James Harden is still out with an injury for Philly and his playmaking output has not been replaced effectively. Maxey and Embiid are playing fine basketball but it’s just not enough to unlock the rigid Hawks defense led by Dejounte Murray, John Collins and Clint Capella.
It was evident in the double-header opener last night that Philly didn’t even score 100 points. The Hawks are much more solid than their opponents and should win.
Atlanta Hawks: +3.5 (-110)
