Al Horford (knee) ruled out for 76ers on Thursday in Atlanta
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (left knee soreness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Horford has missed multiple games this season due to a left knee issue, so the 76ers are going to give him a maintenance day against the team with the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Mike Scott (right knee soreness) is also questionable. Matisse Thybulle may be asked to start on Thursday and minutes may be created for Kyle O'Quinn.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the 76ers have the highest implied total (118.5 points) on Thursday's six-game slate. The matchup also features the highest over/under (229.0 points).
