The 76ers had dropped 3 straight to the Lakers before beating them at home earlier this season.
L.A. Lakers
In the win over the Celtics Kobe Bryant went for a double-double in points and boards and Jordan Clarkson had 24 points.
While the Lakers are the favorite in this game they may have trouble facing a 76ers’ offense that has been playing well as of late facing a Lakers team that ranks 2nd to last in the league in opponents’ points per game. The offense has not been much better for L.A. ranking 28th in ppg.
Lakers’ rookie G D’Angelo Russell has scored 34 points in last last 2 home games and he went for 19 in the road win over the Celtics.
