The Los Angeles Lakers (10-7) and Philadelphia 76ers (11-5) clash Monday with tip-off from Wells Fargo Center set for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting; 76ers won 2-0 last year
The Lakers are coming off a 121-115 road victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday. They have won 4 of the last 5 games. This is the 2nd of a 4-game road trip as they travel to Detroit and OKC later this week. F LeBron James is listed as a game-time decision, but with back-to-back tilts Wednesday and Thursday, he’s probably good for this one.
The Sixers snapped a 2-game snag with a 127-123 road W against the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday. C Joel Embiid had 35 points, 11 boards, 9 assists and 4 blocks. His sidekick G Tyrese Maxey has really stepped it up this season, averaging 26.4 points, 6.8 dimes, 4.9 boards and shooting 40.2% from distance.
