The game tips off at 4:30 p.m. PT and can be seen on TNT and Spectrum SportsNet.
Los Angeles (24-24) is coming off a win against the Brooklyn Nets with Anthony Davis back in the mix. The Lakers are ninth in the West, but need to go on a run now to avoid the play-in tournament.
Philadelphia (28-19) is on a two-game winning streak and is sixth in the East, but only 2.5 games out of first, with Joel Embiid’s dominance leading the way. His matchup against Davis will likely dictate the outcome.

Prediction
Advice and prediction
This game could really swing either way. How much can Davis neutralize Embiid? How much can Matisse Thybulle neutralize LeBron James? This is the first matchup of the regular season between the two, but it feels like the Lakers could get the edge in a close game now that Davis is on the court.
Take the Lakers plus-1.5, Lakers plus-102 and the under 217.5.
Prediction: Lakers 106, Sixers 102
