76ers vs Lakers Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
PHI 76ers Win(+150)

For the first time this season, the Philadelphia 76ers have connected 5 wins in a row, and they are showing no signs of slowing down despite the suspension of Paul George. Thursday might just be their toughest assignment yet on this West coast road trip, as they take on the Lakers — who beat them 112-108 back in early December when they clashed in Philadelphia. The Sixers find themselves in much better shape going into this game compared to that one, mainly due to Joel Embiid finally finding his footing and producing at a high level without having any issues with his knees. During the win streak, the Sixers have a 129.4 offensive efficiency, which leads the NBA.

The Lakers return home after their annual Grammy trip, and they’ll play their first game at Crypto.com Arena in over two weeks. The trip itself was a success with 5 wins and 3 losses, but the wins mainly happened against sub .500 teams, while the 3 losses were against the Clippers, Cavaliers and Knicks. This has been the main issue of the Lakers all season long, they’re dominating lesser teams while having issues with those who have NBA Finals aspirations. I also have my concerns about Jaxson Hayes getting suspended, that’s a massive hit for an already thin front line, which could be detrimental against a healthy Embiid.

Embiid took the night off vs Golden State in order to be ready for this game. If he can give Philly his usual 29.7 points and 8.4 rebounds in 34.1 mins per game, which he averaged in January, the Sixers should have the edge here. Playing in their first home game in over two weeks, the Lakers might come out a bit flat. Philadelphia used a strong 1st quarter in their game against the other LA team, which resulted in a double-digit win earlier this week. That’ll be the strategy tonight as well.

Player Rebounds Pick
A. Reaves (LAL) - Over 3.5 rebs(+142)

Austin Reaves coming back from injury is the best news possible for head coach JJ Redick and his Lakers. The 26.1 point-per-game scorer gives LA another high-octane scoring threat, which should alleviate some of the load off of Luka Doncic and LeBron James. However, I am looking for Reaves to have an impact on Thursday’s game against Philadelphia in the rebounding department. With him slowly returning from injury and catching his form, the oddsmakers are very generous with their odds, as they do not expect him to play big minutes.

Regardless of that, he was still able to grab 4 rebounds in the win over the Nets on Tuesday, doing so for the 20th time in 24 games played, which is an insane success rate of 83%. Philadelphia ranks 6th for rebounds allowed to shooting guards this season, and I like how Reaves matches up with Maxey at that position going into this game. Let’s also not forget that the Lakers will be without Jaxson Hayes, who is an important figure off the bench for them at the center spot. I am confident Reaves will continue being productive in this area.

76ers vs Lakers SGP pick: Philadelphia 76ers +4 over LA Lakers (-110)

For the first time this season, the Philadelphia 76ers have connected 5 wins in a row and are showing no signs of slowing down despite the suspension of Paul George. Thursday might just be their toughest assignment yet on this West coast road trip, as they take on the Lakers — who beat them 112-108 back in early December when they clashed in Philadelphia. The Sixers find themselves in much better shape going into this game compared to that one, mainly due to Joel Embiid finally finding his footing and producing at a high level without having any issues with his knees. During the win streak the Sixers have a 129.4 offensive efficiency, which leads the NBA.

I have my concerns about Jaxson Hayes getting suspended; that’s a massive hit for an already thin Lakers front line, and if Joel Embiid is healthy, there will be issues down low for LA. Embiid took the night off against Golden State in order to be ready for this game, so if he can give Philly his usual 29.7 points and 8.4 rebounds in 34.1 mins per game –which he averaged in January — the Sixers should have the edge here. Playing in their first home game in over 2 weeks, the Lakers might come out a bit flat. Meanwhile, Philadelphia leveraged a strong 1st quarter in their game against the other LA team to eventually win by double digits earlier this week. That’ll be the strategy tonight as well.

76ers vs Lakers parlay pick: Tyrese Maxey to score 30+ points (+140)

Is there anything that Tyrese Maxey cannot do? He has elevated his game in almost every meaningful statistical category this season, becoming a household name for the Philadelphia 76ers. Together with Embiid, he is the driving force of this season-high, 5-game win streak for Philly. I expect a lot out of him ahead of Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Earlier this season he dropped 28 points on the Lakers in a losing effort; he matches up really well with the likes of Luka Doncic and the newly-recovered Austin Reaves here. The 4 most recent meetings have seen Maxey clear this line twice, while averaging 32.3 points per game. His combination of speed, quickness and shooting ability is something this Lakers defense simply isn’t built for. LA allows the 11th-most points to opposing PGs this season, so don’t be surprised if Maxey is extra aggressive towards the basket here. The Lakers have only Deandre Ayton down low to protect the paint.

76ers vs Lakers SGP pick: LeBron James 2+ made threes (+108)

LeBron has responded in a big way every single time he failed to knock down a three in the game prior. We saw him go 0-for-3 against the Nets a couple of days ago, and despite that, he still finished with 25 points for the Lakers. The last 3 times he went scoreless from deep this season, he responded with at least a pair of threes in back-to-back games. Austin Reaves coming back helps alleviate defensive pressure on James, which could give the King a bit more space to operate around the perimeter. He’s shooting the deep ball at almost 35% in home games this season, and in 14 games at Crypto.com Arena, he’s cleared this line a total of 9 times — which gives us a success rate of 64%. Getting these odds for a bet that’s cashed this often is something I cannot ignore.
