The Los Angeles Lakers look to close out 2010 with a win tonight over the Philadelphia 76ers at Staples Center. Philadelphia will be without Andre Iguodala, who is out with tendinitis in his right achilles. Andres Nocioni will start in place of Iguodala, who will miss his third straight game. Here are the starting lineups tonight:
76ers
- Point Guard: Jrue Holiday
- Shooting Guard: Jodie Meeks
- Small Forward: Andres Nocioni
- Power Foward: Elton Brand
- Center: Spencer Hawes
Lakers
- Point Guard: Derek Fisher
- Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant
- Small Forward: Ron Artest
- Power Forward: Pau Gasol
- Center: Andrew Bynum
This is the second start for Bynum, who scored 18 points and grabbed six boards in his first start Wednesday in New Orleans. Lamar Odom, now the sixth man, scored 24 points in 30 minutes off the bench Wednesday night to lead the Lakers in scoring. The Lakers have beaten the 76ers four straight times overall, and are 9-2 all-time against them at Staples Center in the regular season.
