Philadelphia at Los Angeles

Elton Brand won't be playing in this one vs. his old team. Some think that will take some of the passion out of the game for LA. I don't. They still want to beat his new team. And, without Brand in the lineup, that's all together possible. The Sixers are just 1-4 in Brand's absence. They are just 5-10 on the season on the road and their defense has allowed four of their last five opponents to score in triple figures. With the way they are playing, and travelling cross-country, I just don't think the Sixers should be laying points. I'll back the home dog here.
