The 76ers will be without Johni Broome and Joel Embiid. VJ Edgecombe is doubtful.
Hawks vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers have had some odd results lately and now there’s a chance they could be without Edgecombe. I mentioned a while ago that the Hawks look like a team that’s figuring things out. CJ and Kuminga have added life to the roster and they’re winning games consistently. The Hawks look like they’re having fun. The Hawks have won 8 of the last 10 games against the 76ers. The 76ers haven’t beaten the Hawks since December 2023. I can’t get behind the 76ers with the way things are looking. Give me the Hawks and the reasonable number.
