The Philadelphia 76ers face-off against the Atlanta Hawks for game 3 of the second round series. This game is scheduled for tonight at 7:30 PM EST and will be held in State Farm Arena.

After a rather disappointing performance in game 1 of their series against the Hawks, Philly knew that they had to put on a show to tie the series. Joel Embiid and Co. certainly did that, as the Cameroonian scored 40 points and while other players like Tobias Harris and Seth Curry scored a combined 43 points in a 118-102 victory.

Philly also put the clamps on players like Trae Young and John Collins, who scored 21 points and 8 points respectively, and stopped the Hawks explosive offensive system. The 76ers certainly put on an impressive display in game 2. If they continue this form, they will certainly come out on top in this series.

The Atlanta Hawks, meanwhile, had a great start to their series against Philly. After a blistering start, the Hawks looked like they could pull off an upset and take a 2-0 lead in the series.

But Trae Young and Co. had a dismal night against the 76ers. Unable to contain Joel Embiid and lack of attacking star power from Young and Collins, the Hawks fell flat. Playing at home, the Hawks will hope that they can put up all-round performance and take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Predictions

While the 76ers put up a great performance against the Hawks in game 2, the Hawks have home court advantage in the next two games. Given how the Atlanta Hawks have performed in their home arena so far, the Hawks surely have an edge over the 76ers.

Philadelphia 76ers injury updates and lineup prediction

The 76ers have a rather fit squad available with themselves, but the biggest question mark for them is the health of talisman Joel Embiid. Philadelphia will hope that their superstar is fit for the upcoming game and continue his dominant form.
