The Philadelphia 76ers are in Los Angeles, where they clash with the LA Lakers. Both units are in the play-in zone, and they need to win tonight to stay there. Even without that stake, Philly and LAL have a huge rivalry.
Philadelphia 76ers News
Embiid is not available, but even without him, boys from Philly still have chances to reach the postseason. The bad thing for the guests from Rocky’s city is Tobias Harris’ absence, and Tobi won’t appear at Crypto.com Arena. Philly played in Phoenix against the Suns, losing 102-115, snapping back-to-back victories at home against the Hornets and the Heat.
Kelly Oubre Jr. had 18 points and a team-high for the guests, whose leader, Tyrese Maxey, scored only six buckets while shooting 3-for-13 from the field. KJ Martin posted a double-double off the bench with 11 points and 13 boards, while Cameron Payne and Jeff Dowtin Jr had 12 each.

The Purple and Gold aren’t giving up and are showing resilience even though many doubt their abilities. After wins against the Bucks and the Timberwolves, they lost to the Kings in Sacramento and the Warriors at home. Yet LeBron and the guys recovered with a big win over the Atlanta Hawks, 136-105.
We saw the Lakers merciless against the guests from Georgia, dropping 73 points in the first half. D’Angelo Russell had six threes, tying the LAL’s single-season three-point record.
