The Lakers now have Anthony Davis back, so maybe they finally get going? With Davis logging 25 minutes in his first game in more than a month, the Lakers downed the Nets 106-96 back on Tuesday. LA had gone 7-10 in the 17 games that Davis missed.

Problem is that tonight the Lakers still have to deal with Joel Embiid. Embiid has been a beast lately. Tuesday marked the sixth time this year that Embiid has gone for 40+ points and 10+ rebounds in a game. The 76ers won 117-107, beating the New Orleans Pelicans.

I think that both the Lakers and Sixers are ready to put up some points Thursday night on TNT. Let’s not forget LeBron James, who has been scoring at will recently. He has 18 straight games with 26 or more points. He went for 33 in the win at Brooklyn.

Three of the last four games, Philly has scored 115 or more points. They shouldn’t have too much trouble scoring on the Lakers, who are bottom five in scoring defense.

The Over has hit in four of the Lakers' last five road games and seven of their last 10 overall. That’s how I see this one going.
