The Los Angeles Lakers look to pick up their fifth consecutive victory on the second night of a back-to-back as they take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Lakers are expected to welcome back Rui Hachimura in this contest, but are without Jarred Vanderbilt as the team remains cautious with the forward in his return from offseason foot surgery. Gabe Vincent is also missing a second straight game with knee soreness.
Regardless, L.A. is taking on a 76ers team that is very shorthanded as has been the case for much of this season. All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George are both out, as are KJ Martin, Andre Drummond and Caleb Martin.
