Injury Report
The Hawks’ Bogdan Bogdanovic (right knee soreness) is questionable after leaving Game 6 in the fourth quarter and not returning. Coach Nate McMillan said Saturday the soreness is not related to the fracture Bogdanovic sustained in the knee that caused him to miss 25 games early in the season.
After scoring 22 points in Game 4, Bogdanovic had 6 points in Game 5 and 7 points in Game 6. If Bogdanovic is unable to play or put on a minutes restriction, it could mean more playing time for Lou Williams, Tony Snell or Solomon Hill.
NBA MVP runner-up Joel Embiid (torn cartilage in right knee) continues to play through the injury for the 76ers.

Hawks at Home in Philly
The Hawks broke out to a 26-point lead in winning Game 1 at the Wells Fargo Center. They then rallied from a 26-point deficit to capture Game 5 in the same venue.
If the fourth-seeded Hawks are to win a third time in Philadelphia and upset the top-seeded 76ers, Trae Young will likely again be expected to lead the way.

Tobias Harris also scored 24 points after being held to 4 points on 2-of-11 shooting in Game 5. He has had at least 20 points in nine of 11 games during the playoffs.
Despite playing on only one healthy leg, Embiid shined again with a 22 point, 13 rebound effort. It was his third straight double-double and fourth of the series. He also has five 20-point games.

Tyrese Maxey added 16 points and 7 rebounds. While All-Star Ben Simmons contributed 9 rebounds and 5 assists, he was held to a mere 5 points and is averaging 10.7 in the series.
Does Home Court Matter?
Home court advantage has not mattered much in this series with the visiting team winning four times in six games.
Game 7’s are different, though. Spurred by the home crowd and another inspired performance from Embiid, look for the 76ers to cover and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2001.
