Lakers vs 76ers Prediction

The current betting odds have the 76ers listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 76ers have looked really good this season with their 11-5 record overall which has them as one of the best teams in the East right now. The 76ers have also looked great in their home games with their 6-3 home record and they have some momentum coming off a win in their last game with Embiid back in the lineup. Meanwhile, the Lakers have also looked good this season with their 10-7 record overall but they haven't been good in their road games, going 3-5 in road games this season. The Lakers managed to beat the Cavaliers on the road in their last game but LeBron wasn't going to lose in Cleveland and this will be a much tougher road game to win with the 76ers playing a lot better than the Cavs this season. The Lakers will have trouble stringing together 2 road wins in a row while the 76ers are looking to get back on a win streak with Embiid healthy again. The best way to place a bet here is on the 76ers to cover the spread in this game. 

Lakers 76ers Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Monday, November 27, 2023 (7:00 pm ET start time) is 76ers 117 Lakers 107.
