Two Eastern Conference foes will battle this Saturday as the Philadelphia 76ers head down south to the ATL to take on the Hawks. Both teams will be on the second night of back-to-back games, so it will be interesting to see which one has enough energy left to win this one.
The 76ers will take on the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Friday before this matchup. Prior to that game, they have won two in a row and four of their last five. Philly is currently in 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
The Hawks also have a home game on Friday as they take on the Chicago Bulls. They lost handily at Detroit on Wednesday, falling 118-95 to the Pistons.

The Hawks are in 4th place in the East.
Philadelphia 76ers
Although they are far from ready to compete on a high level, the 76ers have taken some huge strides and shown real improvement in the 2016-17 season. They have come on particularly strong over the last couple of weeks and may have figured out a real formula for winning.
However, their positive trend could be in danger, as they will face off against a tough Portland team before turning around and taking on the Hawks the next night.

Philadelphia has been pretty terrible offensively on the season, ranking 27th in scoring offense with only 99.3 points per game. They rank 17th in rebounding with 43.5 and 12th in assists with 22.6 per night. They allow 104.9 points per game to the opposition, which ranks them 18th in the league defensively.
Joel Embiid has done it all for the Sixers in his first full year, leading the team with 19.9 points along with 7.8 rebounds per game. Ersan Ilysova has contributed nicely with 15.1 points and 6.2 boards a night. Jahlil Okafor adds 11.2 point sand 4.2 boards per contest.
Atlanta Hawks
Although they have had somewhat of a drop-off this year without Jeff Teague, the Atlanta Hawks continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. However, they have been inconsistent, especially over the last few weeks.
They will take on the Bulls at home this Friday before this game against Philly. Prior to that, they were demolished by the Pistons in Detroit, but they have won five of their last seven games and have a real opportunity to improve their conference standing in the next two games.

Atlanta does not wow anyone on offense either, scoring 102.8 points per game which is 20th in the NBA. They rank 16th in rebounding with 43.7 and 6th in assists with 24 per contest. They have been solid defensively, allowing only 103 points per game which is 9th in the league.
The Hawks have continued to be great at sharing the ball and winning without one superstar taking over. Paul Milsap leads them in scoring with 17.8 points as well as grabbing 8.1 rebounds. Dennis Schoder is right behind him with 17.3 points per game and 6.1 assists a night. New Hawk Dwight Howard contributes 13.7 points, 1.4 blocks and a whopping 13 rebounds a game.
