The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to prolong their three-game road winning streak when they head to Wells Fargo Center to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The hosts are 10-7, seventh in the Western Conference, while the visitors are 11-5 and fourth in the Eastern Conference. The 76ers clinched a 127-123 win over Oklahoma Thunder last time out with Joel Embiid's stellar performance of 35 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. With that result, the Sixers are standing at 11-5 and are level with the Orlando Magic and Bucks for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. They have a home record of 6-3, with a strong presence in the paint, scoring an average of 53.6 points per game, led by Embiid with an average of 14.3 points. The hosts have a shooting percentage of 47.2% this season and have won the last four in a row against this opponent. 

Meanwhile, after a challenging defeat against the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers aimed to start their four-game road trip on a positive note against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. In a closely contested matchup, Los Angeles emerged victorious over Cleveland with a final score of 121-115. Anthony Davis contributed 23 of his season-high 32 points in the second half. On the road, the Lakers now hold a 3-5 record and are fourth in the NBA for scoring. They have managed an average of 55.5 points per game in the paint, with Davis leading the charge at 15.9 points. However, they will need another big performance to win this one, having failed to secure victory in their last five visits to Wells Fargo Center.
