Nothing to write home about for the 1-6 Sixers, compounded by Joel Embiid's injury. Now Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is likely to be sidelined for a couple of weeks, and even the return of Paul George to active duty hasn't provided a spark (George was on the floor only half of the 48 minutes in Wednesday's loss to his old team the Clippers). Meanwhile, the Lakers limp home after a brutal 1-4 road trip and JJ Redick issuing a public verbal flogging to his non-LeBron troops, whose effort was much less than desired in the lopsided midweek loss at Memphis. With AD (knee; possible to return tonight) hurting and the status Rui Hachimura (illness) up in the air, the non-LeBron portion of the lineup is not at 100%, and will likely be compromised even if both can feature in some capacity tonight. Nonetheless, expect much better intensity from the Lake Show than two nights ago at Memphis. Play Sixers-Lakers "Under"
