The Los Angeles Lakers hope to maintain momentum on the second night of a back-to-back when they face the Philadelphia 76ers at 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT) from Wells Fargo Center.

Our Lakers vs. 76ers predictions and player prop picks help prepare bettors for this matchup, as Los Angeles is a 3.5-point favorite at our best sports betting sites.

The Lakers have won four in a row and six of their last seven, climbing to No. 5 in the Western Conference. Philadelphia remains outside a weaker Eastern Conference playoff picture, trailing the final play-in tournament spot by 1.5 games.

Best Lakers vs. 76ers prop predictions

Tyrese Maxey prop pick: Over 6.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joel Embiid and Paul George have been ruled out for today's contest, meaning it will be the Maxey show for the 76ers. Maxey has a 31.9% usage rating and assist percentage with both players off the court this year.

Maxey has recorded at least seven assists in four straight games, including nine dimes against the Chicago Bulls over the weekend. Given Maxey's potential usage, I project seven assists, even if this game is more of a defensive battle.

At most of our best sports betting apps, this line is as high as 7.5, making FanDuel’s outlier offering a value.

Guerschon Yabusele prop pick: Over 1.5 turnovers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yabusele will continue to see plenty of playing time with Embiid sidelined. Despite dealing with early foul trouble, he played in 29 minutes over the weekend, averaging 32.1 minutes per contest this month.

There are many ways to bet on Yabusele’s potential playing time, but I like the turnovers angle the best due to the +105 price tag at bet365. He’s committed three turnovers in back-to-back games and recorded multiple turnovers in five of his previous seven outings.

In a matchup against Los Angeles center Anthony Davis, I expect Yabusele’s turnover issues to continue.

Best odds: +105 via bet365 | Implied probability: 48.78%

Anthony Davis prop pick: Under 0.5 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐

Davis sent a message to the front office over the weekend, requesting a trade for another center to replicate the identity of the 2019-20 championship team. His play has backed up those words, as he has scored 78 points and grabbed 36 rebounds over the past two games.

The only thing he hasn’t done is improve his 3-point shooting, which continues to be the argument against a two-big lineup. Davis has been 0-for-6 from distance over the past three contests, averaging 0.7 makes on 2.3 attempts per game this season.

I like the idea of getting a plus-money price tag on Davis not to hit a 3-pointer, especially if the Lakers can get out to a big enough lead that he’s not asked to play as many minutes.
