Kings vs. 76ers Prediction

The 76ers have looked surprisingly strong in their past two games despite a frustrating, hit-and-miss season for the most part. Center Joel Embiid in particular has really found his groove for the team lately, aggressively leading the offensive charge. They have more momentum than the Kings tonight, but the absence of power/shooting guard and all-round first class defensive player Tyrese Maxey isn't ideal. Offensively, though, the team are looking as sharp as ever in recent months.

The Kings, meanwhile, have had a slightly stronger season thus far but have revealed a major weakness on the defensive end of the court lately. With a motivated, explosive Embiid coming in hot, the Kings could be in for a rough night away from home this evening.

Prediction: 76ers -5.5 (-108)
