Bryant Returns to Philadelphia

The Los Angeles Lakers play the 76ers tonight in Philadelphia.  The game will be a return for Kobe Bryant in two senses of the word.  He will be revisiting his former high school in Lower Marion, and be reinstated in the Lakers lineup after his suspension. 
 

Kobe has done amazingly well in the games immediately following league-mandated suspensions, averaging just over 34 points.  The Lakers are also 3-1 when Kobe comes back from suspensions.
 

But if you’re thinking about putting a bunch of money on the Lakers, you might want to consider that the 76ers are currently on a five-game win streak.  Philadelphia is surging and the Lakers are spiraling downward.  L.A. will come into the game tonight with a four-game losing streak, and only 10 available players.
 

I’d save my betting loot to spend on Lakers tickets for when the Dallas Mavericks come to the Staples Center on Sunday.  StubHub.com will be your source for what could be a season defining game versus one of the best teams in the league.
