Prediction published on 3/22/24, 9:12 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 3/22/24 at 11:45 AM in NBA Picks

The Lakers welcome the Sixers to Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers are going through an extremely disappointing season, finding themselves in 9th place in the West with a 37-32 record. The team must now redouble its efforts and win as many games as possible to keep alive the hope of reaching the playoffs. In such a precarious position, the Lakers can no longer afford the slightest error and must absolutely catch up with the competition to avoid a huge disillusionment. Their current situation is alarming, but the talent of their squad and the determination of their star players could yet enable them to turn things around and qualify for the post-season.

Deprived of Joel Embiid, the 76ers are going through a difficult period, stringing together a series of poor performances and plummeting down the Eastern Conference standings. Without their talented pivot, the team is struggling to regain its momentum and finds itself in the midst of a fierce battle for the final playoff spots. The visitors must now redouble their efforts and find solutions to make up for Embiid's absence, to qualify for the post-season. The competition is fierce in the East, and every game is of the utmost importance for a struggling Philadelphia team.
