The Los Angeles Lakers travel to take on the Philadelphia 76ers tonight at the Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia. Here is all the information you need to watch and listen to the game!
The Los Angeles Lakers are set to begin their second road trip of the season tonight. The Lakers will be heading to the east coast tonight to face off with the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams are coming into the game off losses, but are in different situations.
The 76ers come into the game alternating wins and losses in their past six games. They are currently in the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference with a 13-10 record.
The Lakers come into the game on a five-game losing streak. Things have not gone well for the Lakers recently as they have struggled on both ends of the court. Los Angeles has a record of 8-15 and is four games out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
This will be the second meeting of the season between the Lakers and 76ers. They played at the STAPLES Center on November 15th. The 76ers won that game 115-109 on the backs of Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.

Embiid had a career game against the Lakers in the first matchup. Embiid scored 46 points, shooting 14-of-20 from the field, 2-of-3 from the 3-point line and 16-of-19 from the foul line. He also added 15 rebounds, seven assists and seven blocks.
Embiid dominated in the paint and took full advantage of Luke Walton‘s insistence to play small. Julius Randle had no chance against Embiid on the interior. On the perimeter, Simmons was dominating.
Simmons had a great game as well. He nearly triple-doubled, scoring 18 points with 10 assists, nine rebounds, five steals and one block. He dominated the highly anticipated matchup with fellow rookie, Lonzo Ball.
Ball made only 1-of-9 from the field, adding five rebounds and two assists. Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma carried the load in the starting five, scoring 26 and 24 points respectively. Jordan Clarkson also had a good game off the bench scoring 20 points.
If the Lakers are to snap their losing streak and get back on track it will take a better performance this time around than in the first meeting. Slowing down Embiid and Simmons will be at the top of the Lakers to-do list to get a victory tonight.
Will they be able to do it? We will have to watch and find out! Here is all the information you need to watch or listen to the Lakers and 76ers face off for the second and final time this season.
