The LA <\/a>Lakers<\/a> will face the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> on Sunday at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Pennsylvania. It will mark their first meeting of the season, as both teams enter the matchup with contrasting results in their previous game. <\/p>\n Los Angeles (16\u20136) is coming off a 126\u2013105 loss to the Boston Celtics, but held on to the second seed in the West thanks to favorable results elsewhere. Philadelphia (13\u20139), meanwhile, earned a 116\u2013101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks to move up to sixth in the East.<\/p>\n \nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n This matchup features two teams with positive records, as the 76ers look to build on their 7\u20136 home mark against a Lakers team that has gone 9\u20133 on the road.<\/p>\n \u2022 <\/p>\n LA Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers Preview, Odds, Betting Tips and Prediction<\/p>\n Moneyline: Lakers -175, 76ers +145<\/p>\n Spread: Lakers -4.5 (-105), 76ers +4.5 (-115)<\/p>\n Total over\/under (o\/u): Lakers o235.5 (-110), 76ers u235.5 (-110)<\/p>\n *Editor’s Note: Odds are subject to change closer to tip-off*<\/p>\n LA Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers preview<\/p>\n This will be the Lakers\u2019 final game of their three-game road trip in the East, and they\u2019ll aim to finish it on a high note. After ending November on a seven-game win streak, Los Angeles has gone 1\u20132 over its last three outings and will look to regain momentum on Sunday.<\/p>\n Despite being one of the league\u2019s stronger teams, the Lakers haven\u2019t excelled in any one area and have been fairly average on both ends of the floor. They own the NBA\u2019s 10th-best offense at 118.6 points per game, while their defense gives up 116.5 points per game, the 16th-best mark.<\/p>\n Luka Doncic<\/a> has been the Lakers’ standout performer, leading the team across the board with 35.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.9 assists. Reaves has complemented him well, contributing 29.3 points and 6.4 assists per game.<\/p>\n Opening the season with a 4\u20131 record, the 76ers dropped eight of their 14 games last month. However, they have started to regain momentum and come into this matchup on a three-game winning streak. <\/p>\n Similar to the Lakers, the 76ers’ rise cannot be attributed to any one area. They\u2019ve been solid but unspectacular across the board, averaging 117.3 points per game (16th in the league) while allowing 116.3 points per game on defense (14th in the league). <\/p>\n However, they can attribute their success to Tyrese Maxey<\/a>, the guard has led the team from the front, averaging 31.6 points and 7.2 assists per game. Meanwhile, Quentin Grimes<\/a> has been their second-best performer, recording 17.0 points per game. <\/p>\n In terms of injuries, both teams will be without key players, but the 76ers carry the greater burden. Joel Embiid and Paul George are listed as questionable, while Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford have been ruled out of the matchup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
