The 76ers will see Buddy Hield and Cam Payne play against the Hawks following trade deadline transactions

Buddy Hield and Cam Payne are set to make their debuts with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The 76ers were active at Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, acquiring Hield from the Indiana Pacers and Payne from the Milwaukee Bucks. In a deal for the Pacers’ sharpshooter, the Sixers surrendered Furkan Korkmaz, Marcus Morris Sr., and draft compensation. For Payne, Philadelphia traded away veteran guard Patrick Beverley.

The Atlanta Hawks roll into Philadelphia for a Friday night Eastern Conference showdown with a 76ers team looking to find answers for a struggling offense. They’ll get that chance against Atlanta in a contest set to start at 7 p.m. EST.

The Hawks-Sixers matchup will be carried live on NBA TV as well as NBC Sports Philadelphia in local markets. The game can also be accessed via live streams available through FuboTV (free trial), and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The 76ers continue to plug along and look for medium-term solutions with All-Star center Joel Embiid sidelined for four weeks and a big void now at the heart of their offense. Philadelphia has met its season scoring average (118.5 ppg) just twice over its past seven games and is 1-7 over its past eight. The Sixers are 0-3 on their current home stand and clinging to a 30-20 record and a fifth-place position in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Hawks have been bested by NBA title contenders in losses to the Boston Celtics (125-117) and Los Angeles Clippers (149-144) this week, but had previously won four straight games to keep hope alive for a postseason run. Atlanta fires off a steady barrage of 3-point shots and is led by star point guard Trae Young, who averages a double-double with 27.1 points and 10.9 assists while knocking down 3.4 three-pointers per game.

The Hawks’ visit to Philadelphia is set to start at 7 p.m. EST on NBA TV, with coverage locally on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Live streams are available with introductory offers through FuboTV (free trial), and DirecTV Stream (free trial).
