The Lakers host the 76ers on Friday night in NBA action.
The Los Angeles Lakers have the first play-in seed above the Golden State Warriors but they are trying to improve their standing in the Western Conference when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. Los Angeles is still three games back of the eighth spot currently held by the Sacramento Kings. The good news for LA is that it is the 7.5-point favorite at home tonight. The Lakers are coming off a big 136-105 win against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday and the considerable rest should help them in this game against the 76ers. D’Angelo Russell had a historic night surpassing the great Kobe Bryant for the most threes in a season with 183. Russell finished the night with 27 to lead LA and LeBron James was right behind him with 25 and 10 rebounds. LA is trying to tie the season series at 1-1 in the finale tonight against Philly.

Both teams aren’t having the year they expected with Philadelphia sitting in eighth in the East after a long absence from Joel Embiid. The Sixers will be trying to bounce back from a 115-102 loss against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Grayson Allen had one of his best games of the season leading the way for Phoenix with 32 points. Comparatively, Philadelphia’s leading scorer was Kelly Oubre Jr. with 18. This offense just hasn’t been the same without Embiid. Can Philadelphia ratch it up in time to pull off this upset in LA?
