Atlanta @ Philadelphia 4:30 pm Pacific Time
LA Clippers @ Utah 7 pm Pacific Time
Is Joel Embid going to play tonight? Kwai Leonard is definitely out in a pivotal game 5.
In other NBA news, Chris Paul has entered covid 19 protocol, who knows for how long. Van Gundy in New Orleans is fired and Scott Brooks is out with the Wizards.
So, who wins tonight?

I'll go home chalk, but is Atlanta the healthiest team now? Trae Young listed as probable for Game 5 vs. Sixers Hawks PG is dealing with a shoulder injury that isn’t expected to hold him out of a crucial game with the series tied 2-2. By Benjamin Zweiman@BenZweimanDKN Updated Jun 15, 2021, 2:10pm PDT Atlanta Hawks PG Trae Young is being listed as probable to play in Game 5 vs. the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. The Hawks also listed De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Brandon Goodwin as out, which isn’t anything new. Young was able to play through the injury in the Hawks’ 103-100 win over the Sixers in Game 4, which tied the second-round series 2-2. Young had an off shooting night in Game 4, going 8-of-26 from the floor and 3-of-11 from 3-point range to finish with 25 points. He also added 18 assists in the win after two straight blowout losses to Philly. The Hawks are currently +6600 to the NBA Championship on DraftKings Sportsbook, the worst odds of all the remaining teams. Atlanta is also +2000 to come out of the East and reach the NBA Finals. Young is +10000 to win NBA Finals MVP as well. Through his first 9 NBA playoff games, Young is averaging 28.3 points and 10.7 assists on 43/33/90 shooting splits for the Hawks, who will face a tough task in Game 5. Both offenses performed poorly on Monday night, though the Sixers were a tad worse thanks to Joel Embiid having his worst game of 2020-21. We’ll see if the shoulder injury holds Young back at all in how aggressive he is shooting. Young is a great facilitator who can create offense for his teammates, they just need to shoot better than 36 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range like in Game 4. dknation.draftkings.com/2021/6/15/22535692/trae-young-injury-update-hawks-vs-sixers-game-5-lineup-status-report-nba-playoffs-2021

Ice Trae was getting his shoulder iced every time out last game.

Embid and Trae Young score early, both look healthy.

38 - 24 lead for Philly after the first. After going 0 - 12 in the fourth quarter of the last game Embid is 8 - 8 in the first here with 17 points.

I mean, it was a 25 point game with under 4 to go in the third. This is 28-3 all over again, but Atlanta wasn't the chokers this time.

What a bunch of pathetic losers. I am laughing my ass off....Here us Hawks fans were derided for thinking they would win, but they did so easily. Can't wait till they come back to ATL for the next game and the series ends. If the Hawks can make a comeback like that on the road, imagine what they can do at home. We have something special in Trae Young.

We have something special in Trae Young. Every Hawks starter was a negative plus-minus; every Sixers starter but Tobias Harris was a positive plus-minus. But Lou Williams was +31. As for Mr Simmons - - 4 shots in 38 minutes and missed 10 free throws. Wonder if that played a part in a 3-point loss.

At one point, Heurter was yelling to the ref that he was intentionally fouling Ben Simmons to put him at the free throw line. Lol. |

No point guard had ever missed 10 free throws in a playoff game, even those who took a ton of them. And he was the first player this season to miss 10 free throws.

No one this whole year, regular season or playoffs, has missed 10 or more free throws until last night.

They were getting bashed for being cowards and trying to avoid the Lakers. The narrative is certainly changing.
