76ers at Lakers picks and predictions
Prediction
76ers 120, Lakers 119
Moneyline
PASS.
The 76ers (-155) should win this game, but Los Angeles’ extra motivation to bounce back after a tough loss on national television makes the Lakers a live underdog. Bet the spread or total instead.
Against the spread
BET LAKERS +3.5 (-112).
Look for F LeBron James to have a big game Sunday. Los Angeles is 7-6 ATS when it is better rested than its opponent and should come out extra focused after blowing a late 4th quarter lead vs. the Mavericks Thursday. Take the points.
Over/Under
BET OVER 234.5 (-108).
The Over is 8-0 in Philadelphia’s last 8 games after winning its previous contest and 5-1 in Los Angeles’ last 6 following a loss. The Over has hit in the last 2 meetings between these 2 teams and Sunday’s matchup should be another high-scoring affair.
