Philadelphia 76ers - SIC Health Score 93.6
The 76ers are feeling good fresh off an important win against the #1 seed Miami Heat, despite holding out stars James Harden (FD $9,800) and Joel Embiid (FD $11,000) for hamstring and back soreness respectively.
Philadelphia will take on the L.A. Lakers for the first time since acquiring superstar guard Harden, who is expected to play along with MVP-frontrunner Joel Embiid, who we expect to be 100% healed from a tailbone fall suffered last week vs. the Denver Nuggets.
Expect each to play their usual minutes and both should have great games against a porous, 26th ranked Lakers defense
Los Angeles Lakers - SIC Health Score 68.9
The Lakers are coming off a big win against the Cleveland Cavaliers which saw LeBron James (FD $11,200) explode for a triple-double with 38 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds.
LeBron does head into this matchup with a questionable designation as he is dealing with left knee soreness/effusion and has now been ruled out.He will need to rest his knee injury tonight after the statistical explosion meaning the Lakers will have to find a way to win without him.
Former MVP Russell Westbrook (FD $8,200) has had an up and down season in his first year with the Lakers but could provide tremendous value with James out.
Talen Horton-Tucker (FD $4,200) questionable with an ankle injury but will likely suit up and could replace James in the lineup.
Potential Plays:
Russell Westbrook O34.5 Points+Rebs+Ast - Westbrook will have to do it all with James, has the capability of posting a triple double tonight
Joel Embiid O11.5 Rebounds - The big man should dominate the glass against an Anthony Davis and Lebron-less Lakers squad
