Saw a completely opposite Lakers team compared to the other day in Indiana. Came back from 18 down, showed heart played well and got a huge win. Guess trade rumours being out of the picture will get us going again. Well I hope. Also big up Indiana for winning over LAC, helps us massively that

Congrats on the solid victory buddy. Seems that at least Lakers are still fighting and trying on the last PO spot. Besides LAC lost this night they are also traded their best player so far this season so it helps a lot for Lakers as well.
Two young elite teams face off in Philadelphia as the new look 76ers host 2nd seeded in the west, the dangerous Denver Nuggets!
Philadelphia 76ers
Well it’s been eventful in Philadelphia since their last loss to Toronto as they’ve made some serious moves which could arguably elevate them as top contenders in the East! The 76ers top new addition Tobias Harris who averages 20 ppg on extremely good efficiency got 76ers fans believing that he might be the final piece of the puzzle and the new big 4 of Simmons, Embiid, Butler and Harris is expected to prove to be a serious force in Philadelphia and we may get to see the big 4 play tonight if nobody sits out! 76ers biggest worry right now is a lack of depth off the bench but additions of Marjanovic, Mike Scott, Jonathon Simmons and James Ennis should definitely help them. Philly continue to play through their most brutal part of the schedule in which they’re so far 5-4 doing relatively well. 76ers lost to Denver earlier this season but Butler and Embiid were both out and Tobias Harris was not apart of the team so this will be a completely different Philly team that Denver will see. 76ers are 21-6 at Home this season which is one of the best home records in the league. Biggest worry entering tonight is Joel Embiid is listed as questionable to play, after missing the 1st match up against Denver, it’d be very disappointing if he was out again for the Nikola Jokic match up.

Ish Smith is probable to return for the Pistons
Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic are available for the 76ers, Joel Embiid is questionable
Gary Harris is out, Paul Millsap is questionable for Denver
Cedi Osman, Tristan Thompson out for the Cavs
Jabari Parker is available to make his debut for the Wizards
Zach LaVine is listed as probable for the Bulls while new Acquisition Otto Porter will likely play
Mirotic and Middleton are out for the Bucks. Giannis is available despite being questionable earlier
Devin Booker is questionable for the Suns
Derrick Rose, Tyus Jones are out while Jerryd Bayless and Jeff Teague are questionable for the T'Wolves
Elfrid Payton is out, Jahlil Okafor and E'Twaun Moore are questionable while Anthony Davis is not on injury report and is allowed to play this season for the Pels so could play tonight
His last game was the 3rd game of the season. Really surprised to see him play this season since Cavs are tanking but we'll see how it goes. Good to see him back
