As ESPN reported in their game preview, both of these teams are coming into tonight’s game off road victories. The 76ers picked up a 109-105 win over the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center, the venue for tonight’s game. Joel Embiid finished with a team-high 32 points and 16 rebounds, while Ben Simmons scored 22 points and had 12 rebounds for another double-double. The Lakers were on the road against the Phoenix Suns and defeated them 100-93. Jordan Clarkson came off the bench to score 25 points on 11-for-19 shooting, while center Brook Lopez had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Lonzo Ball ended up spending time on the bench in the fourth quarter as he was struggling.
Philadelphia is averaging 108 points per game, with opponents averaging 109.5 per game. However, they’re 7-6 and looking competitive in the Eastern Conference early thanks to young stars Simmons and Embiid. Los Angeles is 6-8 with a 4-3 home record and is currently being led in scoring by Clarkson’s 15.5 points per game. Ball is leading the assists category with 7.2 per game and scoring just 9.5 points per contest. Kyle Kuzma has looked impressive as well in his early pro career, averaging just under 15 per game as the team’s third-leading scorer.
Coming into this matchup, the visiting 76ers will be the favorites as the point spread has them by 3.5 points. On the moneyline, Philadelphia is a -160 favorite, while the home team Lakers will be +140 underdogs. For the over/under, bettors are contemplating 220 points for the complete game.
