Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks have gotten off to a good start this NBA season. They are looking to improve their record of 8 wins and 4 losses by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. The 76ers are off to a slow start and hold a record of 5 wins and 7 losses.
The Hawks have managed to do well despite their star point guard Trae missing a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Nonetheless, they still won thanks to Dejounte Murray and the rest of the squad. They look to prove that they are legitimate contenders in the Eastern Conference.
On the other hand, James Harden and Joel Embiid have not been completely healthy and are yet to get on a roll. Considering that both these teams just faced each other for their last game, we should wonder what the rosters will look like and who is expected to come out on top.
Trae Young is expected to play for the Atlanta Hawks vs Philadelphia 76ers game tonight
It looks like Trae is back, he played in the last game against the 76ers. In it, he scored 26 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds. By doing so, he led his team to the win with a final score of 104-95. He will be looking to play even better in this next game.

Trae and the Atlanta Hawks will win if James Harden does not play
The Hawks are already proving themselves to be dark horse contenders in the Eastern Conference. However, it is too soon to declare so with certainty. They already beat the 76ers in their last match. As we all know, Harden did not play in that game and is expected to miss this one.

The Philadelphia 76ers are likely to fall to the Hawks unless both Harden and Embiid are don’t the court and are healthy. Since James will be absent in this game, we are siding with Atlanta who will be looking to win back-to-back games over the 76ers.
