Lakers vs 76ers Prediction and NBA Odds: NBA 2021-22 Form
The Los Angeles Lakers are in a sticky with respect to their positioning in the Western Conference. Despite having all-time greats like LeBron James, the team has been heavily reliant on the big player. As a result, they are reeling under pressure in 9th place with just 31 victories as opposed to 41 losses this season.
Their inconsistency has once again blown up their chances as the side achieved just two wins in the last five outings against the Raptors and Cavaliers. But their positive home record of 20-17 has been a huge confidence booster up until now.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been one of the sides to watch out for given the way they have carried themselves in the Eastern Conference. After getting off to a fiery start, they never looked back as they managed to stay at the top of the table.
As icing on the cake, their winning spree in February and March meant that they were projected as the firm favorites. In the last five games, they have lost twice but made it up with triumphs against Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Magic. Despite occupying 2nd spot in the table, they are slightly off their game and are looking to get back the charisma.
