Preview: Hawks host Sixers to wrap 2017-2018 schedule

With a decade-long playoff streak coming to an end, the Atlanta Hawks will close their 2017-2018 schedule on Tuesday evening with a home game against the red-hot Philadelphia 76ers. There will, of course, be plenty of time to discuss greater takeaways for the campaign but, with 48 minutes until offseason mode commences, simply enjoying real, live basketball might be the best course of action.

Still, there are ramifications to this particular game for both teams. Philadelphia is in the midst of a battle for the No. 3 seed in the East and, as a result, the Sixers are expected to deploy their full arsenal of talent.
