Lakers vs. 76ers live streams: How to watch TNT game without cable
The Los Angeles Lakers continue their GRAMMYs road trip with another tough matchup against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference in the Philadelphia 76ers.
The 76ers, despite missing an All-Star in Ben Simmons, have stayed afloat behind the MVP-caliber play of Joel Embiid, who has been otherworldly as of late. The superstar big man is enjoying one of the most dominant stretches of his career, going for over 30 points in five consecutive games while sprinkling in a 40-point and 50-point game during that stretch.
Over the 76ers’ last 14 games, they own a strong 11-3 record behind Embiid’s play. Over that span, Embiid is averaging a jaw-dropping 34.1 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
He’ll be put to the test against the Lakers, who just returned their star forward Anthony Davis from a 17-game absence due to a sprained MCL. Davis, if he suits up for this one, will surely draw the assignment of trying to contain one of the hottest players in the NBA right now.

And speaking of red hot, LeBron James is scoring the ball like he’s a 23-year-old kid again, averaging 30.0 points per game since the new year. In a 10-game span, James has gone for 30-plus points six times, doing all he can to get the struggling Lakers back on track.
In a battle between two certified MVP candidates, this matchup will be must-see-TV.
