76ers vs. Lakers: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction
In this story:
The Philadelphia 76ers started the week off on a bad note. With a matchup against the rebuilding Houston Rockets on Monday night, the Sixers were in a good spot to climb out of their two-game slump after collecting tough losses against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Memphis Grizzlies.
Unfortunately, four quarters and two additional overtime periods weren’t enough time for the Sixers to put the Rockets away on Monday. With an upset loss against the Rockets in Houston, the Sixers dropped their third-straight matchup, falling to 12-12 on the year.
The 76ers had a few days to review the game film of their recent matchups and get back on the practice floor to re-group. While a few days off was positive for the Sixers, who are working on getting healthy, the team’s recent setbacks made it difficult for everybody to get on the floor for practice.
When the Sixers take the floor once again on Friday night to host the Los Angeles Lakers, the team will remain shorthanded. Over the last few weeks, the Sixers have proven they can adjust and snag victories while shorthanded. Now, the team continues to search for ways to win with two-thirds of their star trio back on the floor together.
