76ers vs. Clippers: Betting Odds, Game Notes & Prediction

In this story:
The Philadelphia 76ers are back on the floor Friday night to complete their seven-game homestand in South Philly.
When they kicked off the seven-game run, the Sixers hosted the Los Angeles Lakers. At the time, the Sixers were struggling and one a three-game losing streak. Since that Friday night matchup against the Lakers, the Sixers have completely turned things around.
A double-overtime thriller against the Lakers ended with a victory. Since then, the Sixers haven’t lost. Now, the Sixers are on their biggest win streak of the season as they’ve won six in a row after dominating the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
On Friday, the Sixers will host the Los Angeles Clippers for the first and only time this year. Entering the game, the Clippers are on a small win streak of their own, as they’ve come out on top in their last two games.
In two meetings against the Clippers last year, Los Angeles won its first matchup against Philly on the road, defeating the Sixers by one point. In the next outing, the Sixers came out on top with a dominant win in late March, defeating the Clippers 122-97.
