Play: Philadelphia 76ers
Rating: 8*

The LA Lakers are 0-8 SU and ATS so far here in December, and this looks like a tough spot for them to end the slide even though they're taking on the lowly Philadelphia 76ers. The Lakers will play their third game on a seven-game road trip, and they have matchup with the Cavs on deck tomorrow. They'll face a 76ers team that is looking to bounce back from a 123-114 loss to Toronto, a game that marked the opener of a four-game home stand. The 76ers had recorded back-to-back wins at New Orleans and Detroit prior to that defeat, so they do have some momentum. I'm gonna go with the hotter of the two teams here and back the 76ers.
