The Philadelphia 76ers have a Joel Embiid problem. He has missed a lot of time with a chronic knee issue. The Sixers have a 17-27 record and have been the NBA's biggest disappointment this season. Joel Embiid is out for tonight's game, and he isn't alone. The Sixers will be missing 60 points worth of players for tonight's game. The Lakers are finally showing what kind of a team they can be, riding into this matchup on a four-game heater. They beat Golden St. and Boston in back-to-back games as part of the winning streak, and their healthy roster provides a nice edge against the beaten down Sixers. Make the play on the Lakers.
