Predictions
The Lakers face their biggest test so far against the 76ers. With all their new moves they have become one of the deepest sides in the league, but with the lack of size, they haven’t been that dominant in the paint. All of it will come down to how they handle the explosive Embiid. Given the form Lakers are in going into the game, they have a slight edge over the Sixers.
