Before this match, teams managed to meet 36 times. Philadelphia won 16 times and the Lakers were stronger exactly 20 times. When making a prediction for the game between Philadelphia and Los Angeles Lakers, you should pay attention to the fact that Philadelphia celebrated victory in the last four matches.
Philadelphia 76ers
Philadelphia’s losing streak is three games. The Sixers lost on the road to Cleveland (85:113), Memphis (109:117) and the main outsider of the championship Houston (123:132) in overtime. The team from Pennsylvania, which has 12 wins and 12 losses, is eighth in the Eastern Conference standings. Doubtful is the participation in the match of starting five player De’Anthony Melton due to a back injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard is useful in all aspects of the game. The rest of the team leaders are healthy. Including the best in points and rebounds Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers lost their last two games, losing away to Cleveland (102:116) and Toronto (113:126). True, the leaders of the Lakers LeBron James and Anthony Davis missed the game with the Canadian team due to injuries. The team from California is unlikely to make it to the playoffs this season. With ten wins and 14 losses, Darwin Ham’s team is 13th in the West. Marked Day-To-Day in the match announcement are James and Davis (the best in the team in points and rebounds).
Prediction
Our expert pick:
Philadelphia has a great opportunity to break the losing streak. The Sixers, with a full-fledged starting five, may well earn three points and please their fans in a match at home. Yes, and the Lakers are not enough stars from the sky this season. And in the absence of James and Davis, success will be much easier. Our prediction is Philadelphia to win with a handicap of -2.5 points over 1.73. The Lakers lost all four head-to-head games last season to the Sixers. Moreover, as a rule, the games were not very productive. Philadelphia averages 107 points in home games, the Lakers averages 113. Everything goes to the fact that in the upcoming match the mark of 230 points is unlikely to be overcome. Our prediction is for the total under 227.5 points, including overtime for 1.70.
