Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
76ers’ Defensive Struggles Exposed: Can Maxey and Harris Carry the Load?
Following the horrible loss of Joel Embiid for the remainder of the month, and possibly more, the Philadelphia 76ers have gone through a three-game losing streak. In these losses against the Nets, Mavericks, and Warriors, the 76ers allowed 136, 118, and 127 points, respectively, highlighting a defensive challenge without their key big man in the paint. Despite averaging 118.5 points per game, Philadelphia faces the task of fixing up their defense.
Key players for the 76ers in this situation are Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris, with a nice contribution from Kelly Oubre. Maxey leads the offense with more 25 points per game, while Harris follows closely at just under 18 points per game. Oubre has been scoring 13.5 points per game throughout the season.
While Philadelphia plays at home in the upcoming game, they will then head out on back-to-back road games against Washington on Saturday and Cleveland on Tuesday. The pre-All-Star break schedule finishes with a home game against the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
Atlanta Hawks’ Defensive Dilemma: Can They Plug the Holes and Stop the Slide?
On the other side, the Atlanta Hawks are anxious to break their streak after starting the month with wins against the Suns and Warriors but falling in consecutive games against the Clippers and Celtics, where they allowed an average of 137 points per game. Defensively, the Hawks face challenges, ranking 28th in the league.
Dejounte Murray’s absence in the recent loss, due to a sore back, affected the Hawks’ performance. Despite this loss, Murray has been a consistent scorer, reaching 20+ points in 9 out of his last 10 games. Trae Young leads the team in scoring with over 27 points per game and an impressive 10.9 assists.
The Hawks will host the Houston Rockets on Saturday and the Chicago Bulls on Monday before hitting the road to face Charlotte on Wednesday. Post All-Star Break, the Hawks will have home matchups against the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic.
