Atlanta Hawks Reveal Their Starting Lineup for Tonight's Game vs the 76ers: Who is Starting In Place of Trae Young?

For the 76ers, they are staring Tyrese Maxey, De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, Nic Batum, and Joel Embiid

The best way for the Hawks to try and win this game might be in a shootout.

Philadelphia is an elite offense, but the Hawks are just as good. Atlanta is 2nd in the NBA in PPG, 16th in field goal percentage, 10th in three-point percentage, 3rd in offensive rebounding, and 20th in turnovers. Per Cleaning the Glass, the Hawks are 5th in points per 100 possessions, 13th in effective field goal percentage, 13th in turnover percentage, 4th in offensive rebounding percentage, and 5th in free throw rate. These are two of the best teams in the NBA in getting to the free-throw line and that was a big key in the last matchup.

The 76ers have been elite on the defensive end of the floor in past years, but that is not the case this year. Philadelphia is 17th in PPG allowed, 17th in field goal percentage allowed, and 13th in three-point percentage allowed. Per Cleaning the Glass, Philadelphia is 16th in points allowed per 100 possessions and 17th in effective field goal percentage allowed. Embidd is still an elite defensive player, but the 76ers don't have anyone else of that caliber on the team.

Philadelphia comes into this game 4th in the NBA in PPG, 9th in field goal percentage, 9th in three-point percentage, 6th in offensive rebounding, and 10th in turnovers. 76ers center Joel Embiid is leading the NBA in PPG with 33.1 and is looking to try and win another MVP.
