Lakers

VS. PHILADELPHIA

When: 6:30.

Where: Staples Center.

On the air: TV: TWC SportsNet, TWC Deportes; Radio: 710, 1330.

Records: Lakers 13-17; 76ers 8-20 before Saturday’s game.

Record vs. 76ers (2012-13): 1-1.

Update: Philadelphia has done slightly better than expected but is still anchored near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams is the top candidate for rookie of the year honors. The 76ers are 7-8 at home and drop off quickly from there on the road.
