Tyrese Maxey is out for the 76ers, so it’s Paul George and Philly taking on the Los Angeles Lakers on the West Coast for a nightcap.
Philadelphia is 1-6 this season and missing Joel Embiid more and more every day. Now that Maxey is out with a hamstring injury, Paul George is under pressure similar to his days in Los Angeles without Kawhi Leonard. This isn’t news to George or Philly, but it’s frustrating to fans around the league.
Los Angeles is 4-4 losing two games in a row and four of the last six games. There have been some lapses in the rotation, but that’s bound to happen early in the season and on a five-game road trip (1-4). The Lakers are back at home with Anthony Davis questionable. With him, Los Angeles should steamroll Philadelphia, but this is the NBA where anyone can beat anyone.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes D’Angelo Russell to go under his points + rebounds + assists:
“D’Angelo Russell had a horrible performance in his last outing against the Grizzlies, finishing with 12 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound in a season-low 22 minutes. JJ Redick was fed up with his defense at third quarter of Memphis’ comeback, so he benched him and that will likely affect D-Lo here against Philly.
D-Lo shot 8 of 26 (30.7%) over the last two games and was 4 of 14 from deep (28.5%) after a season-high 19 points. This will be D-Lo’s fourth match in seven days and I don’t think his new coach trusts him, so I’ll go under D-Lo’s PRA or points.
