With trade rumors swirling, the Lakers will welcome one of the Eastern Conference's top teams, the 76ers, to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The Lakers (26-24) are just 6-10 without LeBron James (groin) and find themselves on the outside of the Western Conference playoff picture. They snapped a three-game losing streak on Sunday with a 116-102 victory over the Suns behind 24 points each from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Ivica Zubac.
Philadelphia (32-18) has seemingly turned a corner since acquiring Jimmy Butler in November. It sits in fourth place in the East standings and second in the Atlantic Division behind the Raptors. Playing without All-Star starter Joel Embiid, the 76ers fell to the Nuggets in their most recent contest.
This will be the first of two meetings between the teams in the 2018-19 season. Here is everything you need to know ahead of 76ers vs. Lakers.
