Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Clippers: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spreads - March 25th, 2022 | NBA Season 2021-22
The LA Clippers will host the Philadelphia 76ers at the Crypto.com Arena for an NBA regular-season game on Friday. Both teams have met only once earlier this season and the Clippers came out with a 102-101 win on that occasion.
Philly come into the game on the back of a stunning win over the LA Lakers. Joel Embiid produced another terrific performance as he scored 30 points while grabbing 10 rebounds, three steals and three blocks.
Russell Westbrook and Dwight Howard scored 24 points apiece, but their efforts weren't enough to stop the 76ers. The Purple and Gold tried to make a late comeback, but Philly hung onto the end and walked out of the Crypto.com Arena with a 126-121 win.
The LA Clippers, meanwhile, suffered yet another disappointing defeat in their game on Tuesday. They were up against a Denver Nuggets side who proved to be too strong for them.
Terrance Mann showed some spark, scoring 24 points. Nikola Jokic scored 30 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to lead the way for the Nuggets. Aaron Gordon, Jeff Green and Bones Hyland each scored 16 points to make things easier for the Nuggets as they bagged a 127-115 win on the night.

Philadelphia 76ers vs LA Clippers Betting Odds & Spreads - March 25, 2022
The 76ers are being favoured in this game because of the exceptional form they have been in since the All-Star break. Joel Embiid has been consistent in his performances and his two-man game with James Harden could prove to be too much for the Clippers' defense to handle.
