Matchup Breakdown
Philadelphia 76ers Outlook
The 76ers fell 112-108 to the Lakers despite Tyrese Maxey’s 28-point, nine-assist performance. Embiid shot just 4-for-21, highlighting the need for improved rhythm alongside Paul George. Philadelphia averages 116.9 points per game and ranks sixth in free-throw percentage (81.5%), giving them an edge in close contests. Luka Doncic and LeBron James add depth, while Andre Drummond continues to provide rebounding and interior defense.
Indiana Pacers Outlook
