Los Angeles Lakers at Philadelphia 76ers odds, picks and predictions

Ryan Dodson | Staff Writer

The Los Angeles Lakers (10-7) and Philadelphia 76ers (11-5) clash Monday with tip-off from Wells Fargo Center set for 7 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Lakers vs. 76ers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting; 76ers won 2-0 last year

The Lakers are coming off a 121-115 road victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday. They have won 4 of the last 5 games. This is the 2nd of a 4-game road trip as they travel to Detroit and OKC later this week. F LeBron James is listed as a game-time decision, but with back-to-back tilts Wednesday and Thursday, he's probably good for this one.

The Sixers snapped a 2-game snag with a 127-123 road W against the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday. C Joel Embiid had 35 points, 11 boards, 9 assists and 4 blocks. His sidekick G Tyrese Maxey has really stepped it up this season, averaging 26.4 points, 6.8 dimes, 4.9 boards and shooting 40.2% from distance.

Lakers at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Lakers 110

Moneyline

Embiid dropped 35 and 38 against the Lakers last season, and the 38-point game came with AD in the lineup. He's going to get his, and it's just a matter of if he receives enough support. With Maxey taking his name to another level, that shouldn't be an issue. The 76ers' -225 ML is an issue.

PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

The Lakers are 7-10 ATS and 4-4 on the road. Meanwhile, the Sixers are 11-5 ATS and 6-3 at home. These teams played 2 close games last year, but Philly ran away with 1 of them in overtime. I like the Lakers to keep this competitive in a bit of a pride game before a back-to-back with a couple lesser teams. Take the LAKERS +5.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Lakers are 6-11 O/U this season, and the 76ers are 9-6-1. The overtime game went Over last year, but the 2nd meeting went Under. The Lakers have cashed 5 Unders in the last 6 games. The Sixers have alternated Overs and Unders the last 4 games with the Over cashing in the last one.

That means it's time to LEAN UNDER 231.5 (-115).
