As a team, the 76ers shot 43 percent from the field and 13 of 37 from the 3-point line, but this one was much uglier than the final score would suggest as the 76ers were outscored by 69 -43 in the second and third quarters combined. to lead by as many as 26 points before embarking on a late run to keep the final scores respectable.

76ers vs. Lakers Prediction

The 76ers are still missing a few players as Joel Embiid is still out and Tobias Harris is listed as questionable, while the Lakers are keeping an eye on LeBron James, who is questionable with a sprained ankle. The 76ers have had some tough times since Embiid went down, and they didn’t look great in their big loss to the Suns on Wednesday. I think the 76ers are going to have a hard time hanging with the Lakers, who just destroyed the Hawks in a massive win in their last outing. The Lakers should be well rested for this one as they haven’t played since Monday and I think they can take care of business with a win and a home cover in this spot.
