The Los Angeles Lakers are taking on the Philadelphia 76ers. The Los Angeles Lakers are leading the western conference with a 14-4 record. The Philadelphia 76ers are leading the eastern conference with a 12-6 record.
The Lakers are the best team in the league when it comes to their record and has won their last three games with their last coming against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In their past few games, it has felt that Lebron and Anthony Davis were swapping roles with one of them dominating while the other has an average night. Lebron dominated the Cavs with his 46 points scored.
Philadelphia will try to recover their upset loss to Detroit. The 76ers gave up 119 points to the Pistons, and the 76ers were never able to recover from their early deficit. Seth Curry had a cold night as he went 2-10 from the floor, as long as Seth Curry does his thing the 76ers are a dangerous team because of the spacing he has provided them. Joel Embiid appears set to return against the Lakers after missing their game against Detroit.
The Los Angeles Lakers have gone undefeated on the road this season so naturally, they are the favorite but the Sixers have all the tools to keep this one within 4 and maybe even pull out the dub. With Joel Embiid returning to the lineup they are getting a large part of their offense back.
