Los Angeles Lakers at Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
To many, taking any team against the Sixers with points seems like a viable option. However, it is once again the 76ers who offer tremendous upside because as we have highlighted in many instances because no one wants a piece of them. When you see Philly priced here as a favorite that comes with reluctance as almost all will lay Philadelphia in this game but it indicates how strong the likelihood of them winning actually is. Los Angeles’ defense is very much accommodating to any taker. This is a team that has lost nine of their last ten because their offense could not compensate for the points given up. Teams have scored 103 points or more against the Lakers over this span and in four of the last five that number escalates to 116 or more. Philly’s stock was bound to plummet after they were soundly defeated by Toronto two days ago which once again puts the Sixers in position to be a quality value play.
Free Pick:
Take Philadelphia -1.5
