Thursday, Dec 7 – Los Angeles Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers

TV: TNT, 8:00 (ET)

Two of the most talked about rookies square off as Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers meet Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers on national TV.

Simmons has set the NBA on fire with his ability to do so much on the floor while all the talk around Lonzo has been about his terrible shooting percentages and ineffectiveness. Add in the Joel Embiid and the LaVar Ball feud and you’ve got not only what could be a good game but one that should have some fireworks.

Oh, and there are a few other really good young players involved in this game including Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Robert Covington and others.
