Atlanta (14-16) will start without eight players. Trae Young (27.3 ppg) will miss the most on offense. Then on defense, Clint Capela, who is averaging 11.5 points per game.
For Atlanta, it's a B2B game and travel. Yesterday they lost at home to an already weakened Orlando 98-104. Cameron Reddish and John Collins scored a great 34 and 28 points respectively and played over 40 minutes each. They won't repeat the same performance tonight against a better defense and will be more tired. Bogdan Bogdanovic had only 22 minutes and 6 points. He will start today, but he may not be 100 percent medically.
Phila (16-15) will start with all of its stars after two days of rest.
The home team has an average offense and defense. The visitors have one of the most effective offenses and one of the worst defenses. But with numerous absences of key players, it will be weaker on offense and even worse on defense. Atlanta lost their first matchup in early December 96-98 at home. With Young, Capela and Huerter and Gallinari also not starting today.
Phila should take care of this game at home. They won't have to worry about Young and Embiid won't be bothered by Capela. I clearly have to play Philadelphia here.
My prediction: Asian Handicap: Philadelphia 76ers -7.5 @ 1.52
