Current odds:

Philadelphia 76ers: (+700)

Los Angeles Clippers: (-1100)

 

• The spread for the game is Los Angeles by 13 points.

• Philadelphia was looking for forward Tobias Harris to step up with Simmons and Embiid down and he responded with 34 points on 14-of-21 shooting, seven rebounds and seven assists in Thursday’s win. “With those two out we had to find our identity of how we’re going to play,” Harris told reporters after posting his highest scoring total since Jan. 15. Horford added 15 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in Thursday’s triumph while knocking down 4-of-4 from beyond the arc to stretch the defense.

• Los Angeles expects to lean on stars Leonard and Paul George come playoff time but built a deep roster around the pair and had four reserves score in double figures in Friday’s triumph. “We probably have the best second unit in the league,” Clippers forward Marcus Morris, who was acquired at the trade deadline, told ESPN. “I look around the league and don’t see no second unit that is even close to ours.” Another recent addition, point guard Reggie Jackson, collected 10 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 19 minutes off the bench on Friday – his second straight game scoring in double figures in fewer than 20 minutes.

• Philadelphia took the last five in the series, including a 110-103 home victory on Feb. 11.
