The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to secure a second consecutive win when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.
It will be the second and final game of the season between the two teams, as the Lakers bested the Sixers, 112-108, in Philadelphia back in early December.
LeBron James will play vs. 76ers on Thursday night
Star forward LeBron James tallied 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in that first meeting. We’ll see what kind of production he puts up the second time around, as James will play against Philadelphia on Thursday night.
James isn’t listed on the official injury report for the matchup, indicating that he’ll be out on the floor with his teammates.
It will be the 15th consecutive game played by James, which is a positive sign after the star forward missed 16 of the first 22 games of the season. Overall, he's played in 32 games for the Lakers on the current campaign and posted averages of 22.0 points, 6.6 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per performance.
In all, only two players are listed on L.A.'s injury report. Jaxson Hayes (suspension) and Adou Theiro (knee) have both been ruled out.
The Lakers enter the matchup with Philadelphia sitting sixth in the Western Conference standings at 30-19. Meanwhile, the Sixers are fifth in the East with a record of 29-21.
