Philadelphia 76ers vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Pick

The Pick: Lakers +2.5

Why bet the Lakers:

✅ The Philadelphia 76ers should see their top player in this game slowed down by the defense of the Lakers. Joel Embiid will be guarded by Anthony Davis for portions of this game, which is a tougher matchup than he is used to. If that slows him down even a little bit, the Sixers could really struggle in this spot.

✅ Danny Green is set to come back for this game after originally being listed as out on the injury report. But Seth Curry is set to miss this game. With the team's sharpshooters being less than 100% health-wise, the Sixers will have to rely too heavily on scoring from the mid-range here.

✅ Anthony Davis had four blocks in 25 minutes in his return to the floor against the Brooklyn Nets. That does not bode well for the Sixers, who will have to avoid his rim protection if they want to win this contest.

76ers vs Lakers Against the Spread Predictions

When betting the 76ers vs Lakers against the spread, you must determine which team will win the game and by how many points. This can be a tough bet to make, but that’s what we’re here for. You can count on us to make profitable against the spread predictions for the Lakers vs 76ers. 

Betting against the spread is the most popular way to bet NBA games as you’re able to get even money on both teams. One team is the favorite and the other the underdog. This is sure to be a wildly competitive game. 

For example, let’s say the Lakers are 3.5 point favorites over the 76ers. A bet on the Lakers would call for a four-point victory while a wager on the 76ers calls for either a victory or a loss by three or fewer points. Make sure to check out our Lakers vs 76ers against the spread predictions above. 

Lakers vs 76ers Over / Under Betting

When betting the 76ers vs Lakers over/under, you must decide whether the two teams will combine for more or less than a certain amount of points. That number is set by the sportsbook and can move at any time, depending on where the action comes in. 

The Lakers vs 76ers over/under predictions require careful consideration of every factor, including any recent injury news and if either or not either team is fatigued. This is the second most popular way to bet NBA regular-season games. 

You should also take into consideration how fast each team plays, which is called the PACE. This will determine whether the game will be played fast or slow. Sportsbooks will know this information, so it’s our job to figure out which side to hop on. Make sure to check that out above.

La Lakers vs 76ers Moneyline Predictions

The Lakers vs 76ers is sure to be a great game and either team can walk away victorious. When betting the moneyline, all you have to do is pick which team will win the game outright. This takes the spread and over/under out of the equation. 

Due to the simplicity of this bet, many casuals prefer to place moneyline wagers. It makes sense, but you must ensure there is value on the bet. While a -550 moneyline favorite is likely to win, there’s just not much value there.

On the other hand, a +550 underdog is likely to lose and you want to be careful throwing too much of your bankroll on them. There is a fine line when betting the Lakers vs 76ers moneyline, so make sure to check out above our recommendations.
