Through 3 Quarters
The Atlanta Hawks were expected to take an ‘L’ in this one, but so far it isn’t playing out to script. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the Philadelphia 76ers 79-75.
Small forward Cam Reddish (18 points) has been the top scorer for the Hawks. One thing to keep an eye out for is John Collins’ foul situation as he currently sits at four.
The top scorers for Philadelphia have been center Joel Embiid (16 points) and point guard Tyrese Maxey (15 points).
The 76ers haven’t lost 76% of the games in which they were down heading into the final period this year, so a win here would be refreshing.

What to Know
After two games on the road, the Philadelphia 76ers are heading back home. They will take on the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Wells Fargo Center after having had a few days off. Philadelphia is out to stop a six-game streak of losses at home.
The Sixers were expected to lose against the Boston Celtics on Monday, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer. The 76ers snuck past Boston with a 108-103 victory. It was another big night for Philadelphia’s center Joel Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 41 points and ten rebounds in addition to five assists.
Meanwhile, it looks like Atlanta must have gotten on Santa’s naughty list since the team didn’t end up with the win they were expected to receive on Wednesday. They were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 104-98 to the Orlando Magic. Despite the loss, Atlanta had strong showings from small forward Cam Reddish, who shot 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 34 points, and power forward John Collins, who posted a double-double on 28 points and 12 boards. Reddish’s performance made up for a slower game against the Denver Nuggets last week. Reddish’s points were the most he has had all season.
The 76ers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor’s paradise, though, as they’ve failed to beat the spread in nine of their 13 home games.
Philadelphia’s win lifted them to 16-15 while Atlanta’s defeat dropped them down to 14-16. We’ll see if the Sixers can repeat their recent success or if the Hawks bounce back and reverse their fortune.
