MIKE'S SIXERS/WARRIORS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER It's impossible to know who will suit up for the injury-plagued Philadelphia 76ers who not only will be playing on no rest, but also their fourth straight road game following a 130-104 loss in Portland last night. Center Joel Embiid (left knee) and Tyrese Maxey (left ankle) both sat out their second straight game and they're listed as questionable for tonight's contest, and I think there's a good chance that they'll both miss this game as well. The Golden State last played in a loss to the LA Lakers on Saturday and they're coming off back-to-back one-point losses. I think we'll see a hungry Warriors team get the better of the shorthanded Sixers. 3* PLAY ON THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

The Pacers are 24-21 for the season, but they've dropped five of their last six games. 76ers are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a road favorite. 76ers are 25-12-1 ATS in their last 38 games following a straight up win.

MIKE'S 4* LAKERS/THUNDER NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Lakers are heading to Oklahoma City on a four-game losing streak. I think they're in for another tough game here against a Thunder team that defeated them 133-110 back in November. The Thunder are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Lakers covered the closing line in a loss at Minnesota on Thursday but they are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. 4* PLAY ON THE THUNDER.
