The Los Angeles Lakers return home on Friday to host the Philadelphia 76ers at crypto.com Arena.

After going 1-4 on a five-game road trip, Los Angeles is expected to have Anthony Davis (heel) back after a one-game absence. Davis leads the league in points per game (32.6) under new coach J.J. Redick and has been an essential defensive piece for a thin roster. Davis is a key option to consider when looking for 76ers vs. Lakers player prop bets tonight. 

Tyrese Maxey was carrying the Sixers with Joel Embiid (knee) absent but suffered a hamstring injury against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday and will be out for multiple weeks. Embiid is ineligible to play due to suspension, so Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. are expected to step up as the top-scoring options for Philadelphia (1-6), which is currently last in the Eastern Conference.

Davis is expected to return from a one-game absence due to plantar fasciitis symptoms. This injury can be negligible once athletes get warm and start playing, so he could resume his dominant start to the season.

J.J. Redick has established Davis early, giving the talented big man a 32% usage rate in the first half of games. The Sixers are extremely vulnerable down low with Andre Drummond starting instead of Embiid.

Guerschon Yabusele could log some minutes at center, but he’s giving up a lot of height to Davis. The 76ers allow the highest field goal percentage (50.8%) and fourth-most free throw attempts per game (28.4) this season. Davis averaged 34 points per game with 45 total free throw attempts when the Lakers played three home games to open the year. 

Paul George Over 27.5 points + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -105 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 51.22%

After easing back into action earlier this week, George will be asked to carry the Sixers offense with Maxey out. Maxey leads the NBA in minutes per game (39.7) and leads the Sixers with 90 touches and 58 passes made per game.

Kyle Lowry will step into a bigger role, but he’s not a playmaker on the level of George, who is well-rested after logging just 24 minutes against the Clippers on Wednesday. The Lakers are far more vulnerable than the Clippers defensively, and they allow the most assists per game (6.07) and third-most points per game (23.36) to small forwards.

George is a Los Angeles native with a history of big games against the Lakers, and he could put up a slew of 3-pointers to keep the Sixers in this contest.

Austin Reaves Over 8.5 rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

When the Lakers started hot over their first three home games, Reaves easily cleared this prop. He went under nine combined rebounds and assists in his last four road games but averaged 8.8 potential assists while grabbing just 2.5 of 7.5 rebound chances per game.

Reaves grabbed 6.7 of 9.7 rebound chances over his first three outings at home, and he’s very involved as a playmaker with the most drives per game (9.6) for the Lakers. The Sixers have struggled to guard the 3-point line and are giving up the seventh-most assists per game (5.11) to shooting guards this season.
