Sixers take on Hawks for round 2 of mini series

For the second time in three days, the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Atlanta Hawks as the two squads matchup Friday evening (7:00 pm ET) in South Philadelphia. The Sixers enter the contest in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference standings, 1.5 games back of the Brooklyn Nets (who take on the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night). The Hawks, on the other hand, head into this one currently seeded 5th in the East, just one game up on both the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.

When these two teams squared off Wednesday night, Atlanta was severely shorthanded, with Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, DeAndre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic all out due to injury.
