Sixers Looking For Third Straight Win
The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Los Angeles Lakers at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday evening.

This marks the second game of a five-game home stand for the 76ers (28-19), which they began with a win over the Pelicans on Tuesday. They have won the last two in a row and will look to keep it rolling with a chance to add to their, 11-10, home record. Joel Embiid has been on a tear, averaging 35.2 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.5 blocks, over the last 10 games. Tobias Harris poured in a season-high 33 points on Tuesday night, and he is averaging 19.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals, over the last 10 games. Tyrese Maxey has been solid all season for the Sixers, averaging 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. The 76ers are averaging 107.7 points per game, and they are holding opponents to an average of 105.7 points per game.

Meanwhile, this marks the fourth game of a six-game road trip for the Lakers (24-24), where they have gone, 2-1, so far. They will look to build off a win in their most recent outing and add to their, 9-12, road record. Anthony Davis (knee) made his return from a five-week absence in the Lakers' last game, and he logged eight points, two rebounds, two assists, four blocks and a steal, in 25 minutes of action. LeBron James continues his dominant play, averaging 30.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks, over the last 10 games. Russell Westbrook has been relatively quiet, averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists, over the last 10 games. The Lakers are averaging 111.2 points per game, but they are giving up an average of 112.3 points per game, which is fourth most in the league.
