After winning both games on a back-to-back against the teams from New York, the Los Angeles Lakers will be heading down I-95 for a Saturday showdown against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Lakers will be hoping to replicate what they did against the Houston Rockets last Saturday, and come out of Philadelphia with a win. Compared to the Nets and the Knicks, however, this will be a tougher task for the Lakers.
While the 76ers are banged up right now, they are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference when healthy. Unfortunately for basketball fans, the 76ers will be without Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson for this game.
