The 76ers will be without their two best players tonight as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will both be inactive in tonight’s matchup. This should be an interesting game being that the 76ers played very well against the Clippers without Embiid.
In their first meeting on January 25th, Simmons scored 28 points in a 108-91 victory. This will be tough to replicate against a stacked Lakers team that has been playing very well with only one loss in their last nine games.

They continue to extend their Western Conference lead over the Nuggets by 5.5 games.

Philadelphia 76ers Starting Lineup
Prediction: With Simmons and Embiid out of this game it is going to be tough for the Sixers to come out with a road victory. They played well against the Clippers the other night covering their number and can see that happening tonight as well. 12 points is a lot to lay out to any team in the NBA especially with how they kept the Clippers game close. 76ers (+12)
