76ers vs. Hawks preview: Philly arrives as Atlanta aims to complete sweep of back-to-back

The Atlanta Hawks nearly imploded on Friday night but, in the end, the team was able to grab a victory against the Chicago Bulls. With that said, there is very little in the way of rest for the weary, as the Hawks play host to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday at Philips Arena.

Philadelphia arrives in the midst of their best stretch of basketball in years, as the Sixers have won six of seven games. However, talented big man Joel Embiid did not make the trip for the Sixers on the second night of a back-to-back, leaving Atlanta as a firm favorite for the proceedings.
