Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers head-to-head record
The last five games between the 76ers and the Lakers have been close, with Philadelphia winning 3 out of 5 matches. The 76ers had two big wins, including a 138-94 victory in November 2023, showing off their strong offense. The Lakers have won their last two games against the other team, including a strong 116-106 win in November 2024, showing that they are performing better. If Anthony Davis as well as LeBron James keep performing steadily, the Lakers might have an advantage, especially if Davis continues to perform well inside the court and LeBron helps organize the team's strategy. If Tyrese Maxey scores a lot again and Philadelphia's defense improves, the 76ers could take back control of the tournament in this important game.
