Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Lakers Prediction
The LA Lakers are coming off two ugly losses, but they're back home, and they're expected to have Anthony Davis back, which is a massive boost. Right when it looked like the Philadelphia 76ers were getting healthy and starting to roll, they lost Tyrese Maxey to a hamstring injury. The constant lineup changes make it tough for the 76ers to find a rhythm or consistency. It's hard to back the 76ers with confidence these days. Thick line, but I have to roll with the Lakers at home.
