Sixers Look To Stay Strong On Second Game Of Home Stand
The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Atlanta Hawks at Wells Fargo Center on Saturday evening.

This marks the second game of a four game home stand for the Sixers (3-2), which they began with a win over the Pistons on Thursday. They will look to keep the momentum going and build on a, 1-1, home record. Joel Embiid (knee) remains questionable for action, however, he has been playing through his injury for the past few games and has still managed put up monster numbers. Embiid leads the 76ers, averaging 21.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. Tobias Harris is averaging 19.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, while Seth Curry is averaging 15.4 points on 62 percent shooting, including a blistering 65 percent from long range. The Sixers are averaging 110.0 points per game, and they are holding opponents to an average of 105.6 points per game. They have been one of the most efficient teams in the league, as they are shooting an average of 47.9 percent from the field, which is second best in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the third and final game of a road trip for the Hawks (3-2), where they have gone 1-1, so far, with a win in New Orleans, followed by a loss in Washington in their most recent contest. They will be looking to build off the win and add to their, 1-2, road record. Trae Young has been off to a great start, averaging 24.2 points, 10.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. John Collins has also been playing well, averaging 17.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals, while Clint Capela is averaging 8.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as probable for action. The Hawks are averaging 108.6 points per game, while they are holding opponents to an average of 102.6 points per game, which is sixth fewest in the league.
