Without Young and LeVert, the Hawks were still able to beat the 76ers 132-126 at State Farm Arena, covering a -8.5 spread in the pregame action. The Hawks outlasted an equally depleted Sixers team that only wore nine players against the Hawks, and Atlanta's 23-7 run in the final 4:50 of the first half proved decisive, as they outrebounded them 47-31. Daniels scored 25 points in the win with 33 minutes on the court, but he was in good company, as five other Hawks players reached double digits.

Despite improving their record to 31-34 against the 76ers, Niang was critical of his team's 22-point lead allowing an injury-depleted 76ers team to get as close as 5 points with one minute left in the game. For many, the Hawks have improved greatly with their pre-deadline acquisitions, and as proof of this, they'll be 8.5-point favorites again on Wednesday when they host the Hornets.

The Hornets, however, are coming off two unexpected victories against the Nets and the Heat by exact scores of 105-102. The Hawks will need to be wary of a Hornets comeback, as they overcame a 17-point deficit against the Heat.
