76ers vs Lakers Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Expected Lineups, Betting Trends & Stats

Tyrese Maxey is out for the 76ers, so it’s Paul George and Philly taking on the Los Angeles Lakers on the West Coast for a drink.

Philadelphia is 1-6 on the season and misses Joel Embiid more and more every day. Now that Maxey is out with a hamstring injury, the pressure is on Paul George, similar to his days in Los Angeles without Kawhi Leonard. This is nothing new for George or Philly, but it is frustrating for fans of the league.

Los Angeles is 4-4, losing two in a row and four of the last six games. There has been some rotation dysfunction, but that will certainly happen early in the season and on a five-game road trip (1-4). The Lakers are back at home with Anthony Davis questionable. With him, Los Angeles should roll Philadelphia, but this is the NBA, where anyone can beat anyone.

With that said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bets

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes D’Angelo Russell to go below his points + rebounds + assists:

“D’Angelo Russell has a torrid showing in the last outing against the Grizzlies, finishing with 12 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound in a season-low 22 minutes. JJ Redick was tired of his defense in the third quarter of Memphis’ comeback, so he benched him, and that will likely affect D-Lo here against Philly.

D-Lo has shot 8-of-26 (30.7%) in the past two games and 4-of-14 from deep (28.5%) after a season-high 19 points. This will be the fourth match in seven days for D-Lo and I don’t think his new trainer trusts him, so I’ll go under D-Lo’s PRA or points plug.

Here are the best bets our model predicts for the 76ers and Lakers:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds strength in taking on Philadelphia at ML (+290)
· Spread: NBC Sports has low confidence in Philadelphia +8.5 on the spread
