Philadelphia at Los Angeles

This is the first meeting of the season and Philadelphia looks to bounce back from a loss at Denver. The 76ers still have won five of their last seven games while battling injuries. The good news is that Jimmy Butler is expected to return tonight after missing games due to a wrist injury. The Lakers are still dealing with a huge injury problem of their own with LeBron James and Lonzo Ball both out for an extended time and Kyle Kuzma is questionable with a hip strain. The Lakers do come off a 116-102 win over the hapless Phoenix Suns and it broke a three-game losing streak. The 76ers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings at Los Angeles and they have covered the number in six of their last seven games after losing by at least 10 points their previous game. They are also 10-4 ATS over their last 14 when following any loss. The Lakers are 5-15-1 ATS their last 21 games versus Eastern Conference teams. Lay the points and take the 76ers.
