Philadelphia 76ers to Win
The 76ers won seven of their previous ten home games and that makes them 70% favorites to win this game. Moreover, the Lakers lost their last two six of their previous ten outings. The 76ers won the last four meetings with the Lakers.
Over 220.5 Points
Five of the 76ers previous ten fixtures and seven of the Lakers’ last ten games produced over 220.5. That gives a 60% probability that this game will end with the suggested points. As for the h2h meetings, two of their five games prior to this one ended with a sum of over 220.5 points.
Lakers + 8.5 Points Handicap
In two of the last five meetings with the 76ers, the Lakers covered the +5 points handicap once by winning and the other time by losing by one point. The 76ers failed against the handicap in their last home game.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers went to a 12-12 win/loss record after their latest defeat at the hands of the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday. With that loss, the 76ers are now in the eighth position of the Eastern Conference. That was the 76ers’ third road game loss in a row.
The game against the Rockets went to overtime after the score was locked at 108 after regular time. Despite Joel Embid’s 39 points on the night, Philadelphia fell apart in overtime making five of 15 field goals. Coach Doc Rivers needs to raise his team’s spirits ahead of this game to end their losing streak and get back to winning ways.
Los Angeles Lakers
It is another frustrating season for the Los Angeles Lakers as they are in the 14th position in the Western Conference with a 10-14 win/loss record. After a three-match winning run during which they beat the Bucks, the Lakers lost their last two games.
In their last game against the Raptors, the Lakers were without Lebron James and Anthony Davies. Coach Darvin Ham’s team lacked the firepower needed in Toronto in the absence of his two best players. The Lakers made seven of their 33 shots from the arc with an average of 21.2%% which was their worst of the season.
The Philadelphia 76ers are the favorites to win this game especially if Davis and James don’t recover. The 76ers have won their last four meetings with the Lakers and they look set to make it five.
House Jr., Melton, and Niang are questionable while Maxey is out till December 11.
On the Lakers’ side, Swider, Beverly, Davis, and James are doubtful while Gabriel is out till December 13.
Who won the last meeting between these clubs?
The 76ers beat the Lakers 126-121 on 24/03/2022 in Los Angeles.
