<p>The Philadelphia 76ers host the 11-4 Atlanta Hawks on Friday, who are still playing without starting center, Al Horford. </p> <p>The 10-4 Philadelphia <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.libertyballers.com/">76ers</a> will look to bounce back following their overtime loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/">Denver Nuggets</a> when they host the 11-4 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> tonight. The Hawks sport the Eastern Conference's longest active winning streak at four, and have won seven of their last eight games.</p>
<p>The Hawks four game winning streak has surprisingly come despite the absence of All Star center, <span>Al Horford</span>, who will miss the next few months with a pectoral tear. They last played on Wednesday night when they defeated the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.blazersedge.com/">Portland Trail Blazers</a> by three in Atlanta. Tonight represents Atlanta's first road game since January 11 in Indiana – the game they lost Horford.</p>
<p><span>Jason Collins</span> and <span>Zaza Pachulia</span> have split duties as the starting center since Horford went down with injury, with former D-Leaguer, <span>Ivan Johnson</span>, receiving a spike in minutes off the bench.</p>
<p>The game is scheduled for 7:00 EST and can be seen on Comcast.</p>
