The Lakers return home to LA to face the 76ers after a 2-1 road trip that rode the roller coaster. After demolishing the Warriors when LeBron sat, the Lakers promptly laid an egg vs. the Grizzlies on Saturday only to come back on the 2nd night of a back to back and pull out a win vs. the Pelicans when Anthony Davis and Alex Caruso sat out.
This week, however, starts a new test. After Philly tonight, the Bucks and Clippers are lurking, looking to continue their season success against this team. Make no mistake, this week will be a challenge — even if the 76ers come into Staples banged up and missing their three of their best players.
