The Los Angeles Lakers host the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
With their eight-game Grammy road trip over, the Lakers will play their first game at Crypto.com Arena since Jan. 18. They will face a 76ers team that continues to navigate the seemingly endless string of injury concerns surrounding former NBA MVP Joel Embiid and nine-time All-Star forward Paul George but has been heating up lately.
Philly is on a five-game winning streak and is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 29-21 record. When Embiid has been available lately, he has been dominant — he’s averaging 32.9 points a game and shooting 52% from 3-point range in his last eight contests. Meanwhile, guard Tyrese Maxey is putting up 28.9 points and 6.8 assists a game this season and will start in the upcoming All-Star game.
The Lakers, who have a 30-19 record, are clinging to sixth place in the Western Conference. While they’re in a virtual tie with the seventh-place Phoenix Suns, they’re also one game behind the fourth-place Houston Rockets.
This will be the second and final meeting this season between L.A. and Philly. The Purple and Gold won the first matchup, 112-108, on Dec. 7.
