The Atlanta Hawks look to solidify the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference Friday when they host the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks come in with a record of 41-39 while the Sixers are third in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers have taken two out of three from Atlanta this season. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. EDT at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The Sixers played Thursday night against Miami, so this is a back to back for them. They played the Celtics on Tuesday, so this has been a busy final week. The Sixers can't get the two seed in the conference after the Celtics beat the Raptors Wednesday, but the three seed is all but locked up for Philly. These final games for the Sixers are meaningless, so check the lineups before tipoff to see who is playing and who is not.

The Sixers are 14th in the NBA with 114.9 points per game and they are third in points allowed, giving up just 110.5 points per contest. They are also first in three point shooting percentage and 1st in free throw shooting. Joel; Embiid leads the Sixers, and the NBA, with 33.3 points per game, along with 10.2 rebounds per game. He should be a lock for the MVP, but we'll see. He dropped 52 points against the Celtics on Tuesday. James Harden is averaging 21.1 points per game and leads the NBA with 10.8 assists per contest. Tyrese Maxey is questionable for Friday.
