Los Angeles Lakers (14-2) vs Philadelphia 76ers (8-10) NBA Picks: Last night the (7-10) Indiana Pacers celebrated like they had just won an NBA Championship when they tarnished the Los Angeles Lakers’ perfect 5-0 road-mark. With TV commentators screaming at the top of their lungs, bench players jumping onto the court, and confetti falling, the Lakers realized, they had let one slip away.
Tonight, Kobe Bryant (24.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 4.1 apg) and a humbled Los Angeles Lakers team travel to the “city of brotherly love”, in what should be a terrific matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. 
According to Online Sports Betting Odds posted by NBA Picks experts at SBGglobal.com, the visiting Los Angeles Lakers [-7½] are Sports Odds favorites in their game tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers [+7½].
Last night the Lakers closed out the 3rd quarter with a 17-0 spurt, which extended their lead to 101-86 going into the final stanza. During that span, league MVP Kobe Bryant, become the second-fastest player in NBA Picks history to reach 22,000 for his career, as he finished with 28 on the night. Only “The Big Dipper”, Wilt Chamberlain, achieved this milestone at an earlier age, as he did it 1 day younger.
But the Pacers spoiled the night for Kobe and the Lakers with a furious 4th quarter comeback, which culminated on a last second tip-in by Troy Murphy. "I knew it was going in by the way it was bouncing on the rim,” Bryant said after the game. “I was just hoping that it would fall straight through so that it would leave us with at least a second or so to have the ball."
Phil Jackson, whom I place most of the blame on for this loss, had this to say: "There was some luck involved, but that's the way basketball is if you don't take care of business. They got some energy going to the hoop and the right thing happened for them." Going into tonight’s contest, LA has won four of its last five versus the Sixers. Nevertheless, playing in Kobe’s hometown has been anything but a warm welcoming for the former Lower Merion High School star. The OVER/UNDER for this Los Angeles Lakers vs Philadelphia 76ers NBA Picks has been set at a combined total of 200½ points.
