Hawks vs. 76ers Game Info
Atlanta Hawks (41-31, 16-20 Away) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (49-23, 29-7 Home)
Date: Tuesday, June 8, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Wells Fargo Center – Philadelphia, Pa.
Coverage: TNT
While the final score showed a 4-point victory for the Hawks, they dominated the game much more than that. They had a 20-point lead at the half and led by 16 heading into the fourth quarter. Trae Young is proving to be one of the strongest players left in the postseason, putting up a 35-point, 10-assist double-double. Two other starters scored over 20 points, Kevin Huerter chipped in 15 off the bench, and Clint Capela held strong for the most part on the inside. They will need another balanced scoring attack to take Game 2.
Joel Embiid ended up playing in Game 1. He also fully did his part, scoring 39points, while connecting on 14 of 15 from the free throw line. Embiid finished the game a plus-13, proving he was not the issue in the loss. He is listed as questionable for this game, but it would be surprising to see him sit after playing the last game. Ben Simmons had many costly plays, turning the ball over five times and missing seven free throws. Dwight Howard played just eight minutes and was somehow a minus-15.

Hawks vs. 76ers Prediction
The difference in the final result last game was due to free throws and turnovers, both battles that the 76ers lost. They should tighten up their defense today, making sure the Hawks don’t bury 20 3-pointers again. If they can control the pace and play their game, Philadelphia should tie the series up today and cover the 6.
Prediction: 76ers -6 (BetMGM)
